I rode Sunday and Monday (days off) I didn't ride in to work today because of the possibility of snow streamers later in the day. Do you ever do trials on snow? ..Tom

Nice! I'm just out for a little ride. Prob will end up with 300 or 400 km ..Tom

@MacDoc: yeah Randy is pretty crazy! his bike is setup for riding on ice and snow and he purposely goes out in massive snow storms. Just goes to show you no matter how crazy you think you are there is always someone even more crazy! :) ..Tom

Nice ride in to work this morning! -7 when I left home. The roads were all brined overnight so look like they are icy but aren't. Absolutely toasty warm with my heated gloves, Jacket and Socks (from "Warm n Safe") and my heated seat and handgrips. I could ride all day in this temperature (but...

I rode in to work every day this week and will likely do the same tomorrow. Sunday looks like a good day to not ride. ..Tom

I love riding in days like today when there are gusty winds! It always fascinates me how a big tall bike like a V-Strom can naturally stabilize itself when hit by hard gusts when moving at speeds. Just have to relax the grip on the handlebars and let it do its thing. ..Tom

Rode a bit over 500 km today. Went west and ended up in Kincardine. Also crossed over 50,000 km for this year. Prob will beat last year's 50,200 km. ..Tom

Let home for work this morning before 7:30 am. Was a nice balmy -5. Only a short 75 km ride to work though. Looking forward to heading home this eve and tomorrow looks like a nice enough day to go for a ride. About 500 more km to hit 50,000 km for the year. (My bike has over 208,000 km on it.)...

Still at work.. heading home at 8 to enjoy a nice ride home! tomorrow looks like another decent day to ride! ..Tom

I did a little ride Sunday (about 450 km.). Should be commuting tomorrow and Thursday. ..Tom

-5c when I left home this morning, around 0 when I got to work in Vaughn. Nice Ride in to work! ..Tom

Apart from the fact it is cold the temperature by itself is no real indication of whether or not there is ice. I have ridden on clear days below -10 with perfectly dry roads with no ice and seen lots of ice around freezing. If I don't see a lot of snow this eve I am likely to ride in to work...

Didn't ride today. About 4 or 5 inches of snow in my driveway on on my road plus 680 traffic mentioning cars spinning out. We'll see about tomorrow but it looks like more snow this eve so prob not. ..Tom

For those of you whose bikes become a pile of rust at the first sign of salt your season is probably over. Mot of my ride home from Vaughn to Port Perry had been brined: Keele from King to 15th sideroad, all of 15th (Bloomington) to Goodwood, and Goodwood into Port Perry. I suspect most major...

Wouldn't that count as MAY on this side of the Hemisphere? ..Tom

I rode in to work today. Before I left home I saw snow streamers heading down to just north of my preferred route in to work (Goodwood Road and Bloomington.) Near Brock it actually hit pretty hard for a bit. I wasn't terribly concerned as even at 0 it was unlikely to freeze but decided to be...

This all still seems like decent riding weather to me. I have about 3,000 km more riding to match last year's 50,000 km and unless we get a lot of snow and ice it looks pretty good to do it again. ..Tom

I'm just going to keep riding every day unless there is ice and snow on the road (or risk of...) ..Tom

Do you think they ever remember motorcycles? ..Tom

That's been my lower limit and is on the edge of pushing it. ..Tom
