Bike is doing to be out on roads next week. Positive temperatures 🥳

TIL helmets expire. 🫡 I understand that the strap no longer fits snugly after prolonged used but isn't the plastic supposed to last forever if you never crashed or damaged your helmet. Even under extreme weather it takes years of direct exposure for plastic to start deteriorating.

It's in the positive next Tuesday and Wednesday..

Yea, nah. I'm not "prepared" enough for this season. Also, driveway is almost always blocked with cars when I leave to work in the mornings. Next season I'll be better prepared. I can see that it's not at all a challenge to ride if you have the right winter gear!! Also, the wind took away my...

Verdict?

Thanks. It was going to be last ride anyway with snow tomorrow and double digit negatives from Sunday.

Went out to fill gas so I can add stabil. Took my left glove off while filling. The wind took away my glove. 😭🤦🏻‍♂️

I'm truly done for the season now. Winter slush is not my cup of tea. C'ya all in March.

I snowed good today in GTA 🥹 Monday looks to be the last sunny day for the month.

I ordered a few things from Temu and they work pretty well Bluetooth headset for the helmet Neoprene gloves I'm using these days for riding Windshield extender Wind deflectors for handle bar Portable air pump USB socket Light reflector stickers Riding shoes whole taking the M2 (these are the...

What kind of sorcery is this? I can immediately notice my body feeling less cold when I have the neck gaiter on.

Ride as much as I can and get my M license in October and be crash/fall free this time around.

Flew out to Texas today morning.. it isn't THAT bad..

Oh. I checked this. They don't fit well on my Tmax. In 2009, when they designed the handlebar for this model, someone MUST have been smoking weird- absolutely no handlebar accessories fit for the stock handle. Edit: Interesting. The link shows someone using the muffs on a Tmax. I might try them...

I'll try the neck gaiter. My major issue is with my palms and fingers. I have a few bent out-of-shape fingers and finding gloves that are easy to put on don't come around easily. Gauntlet gloves are out of the question for me. 😬 I make do with whatever gloves I can use. I'll keep researching 🙂

My ride home this evening was testing. Did not enjoy the ride. I think without any heated gear -5 (feeling like -9) is my physical limit.

Thanks for the confident booster. One last question before I stop asking winter stuff. Tires- are normal tires not suitable for riding below -5c? I understand they need some rolling to get heated before I accelerate too fast, but in practice, are they suitable to be driven at -10c? I’m riding...

Good day to ride 😁

No ice, sleet or stacked snow on the roads. Temps on the other hand, I'm riding through -2/-3 every other morning.. I think I could do till -5/-6 probably.
