Winter roads suck! (as does winter)
 
Wow, I am still riding but the ride home today was 18*! I wouldn't care so much but the roads look like they have been testing missiles. They are actually doing "emergency" road work on the Brooklyn bridge due to winter pothole damage. I really cant wait for some less artic temps!

Its a balmy 9 degrees here in Buffalo NY right now... its sure been a cold and nasty a$$ winter this year.

smokinjoe73 02-10-2011 07:54 PM

Yeah Rick I was just in Lancaster and Orchard Park for my dad's birthday in January. Pretty cold this year for sure. That lake will be frozen til september.

It's going to be 68 tomorrow here in Phoenix, I'm debating what shorts to wear. ;)

C'mon, they said upper 40's in the NY metro area Saturday into Sunday. Warm enough for me. I'm ridin'
Worst thing is the Aprilia just arrived from CA w/o a key so no spins around the block. The Hawk is charged up just fine and ready to go.

But yes the roads are a bit roughed up. I mean really chewed up.

Man I could never ride in 18 degree weather. Is there any good roads in NY? My dad always talks about Unadilla New York cuz thats where he was from originally and he said its really country out there..

Nath, you were held back at least one grade in school right? Remedial kind of stuff?
This is a motorcylce forum & I am posting about riding a motorcyle.
How do you figure that is stupid?
Do you have like a case of beer before posting on here?
Do you ever think anything you dont say or right? You might want to try that.

you're right on all counts! dumb, drunk, and dense. That's me!
Now what's your excuse? :D

Oh, and rough roads translate into dual sport. Do not subject your hawk to these conditions.

rbrais 02-16-2011 11:41 AM

It's almost 40 here in CT. Supposed to be in the 50's for Friday, but roads are a mess. Tons of sand, water everywhere from snow-melt. Nah, I'll give it some more time.

Oh, you mean night time. :D

I went for a wee ride today... It hit 32F around noon... With windchill it equates to around 10F... For some reason the rear was a bit slidey... ;)

FL02SupaHawk996 02-17-2011 06:21 AM

I rode into work this morning and was chilly at 50 but ride home should be around 78:)

nath981 02-17-2011 04:55 PM

got up to 60 today. Took the dual sport for a 100 miler. Boy I needed that! Came back with whiteish salt spray totally covering me and the bike, but it couldn't cover up that stupid shit-eating grin on my face.

RickB 02-18-2011 05:25 AM

I took advantage of the brief warmup in the northeast with a nice ride on the 'Hawk - nothing spectacular but it sure felt good to get out and ride!
