Riding with ice/snow around is just not smart ..That depends on where in the world you are and perhaps what weather you are willing to ride in. Somewhere somebody is thinking it is too hot. I write this on a wet windy chilly day wishing it was different in Lancashire UK..
Adrian, I'm with you. Cold I don't mind. Wet I don't mind. Cold & wet is an issue. I don't mean cold like in the 50s Fahrenheit. I mean freezing or near freezing temps where black ice could form on the road (<40F). I was fortunate when I got my R18 in December, we had a good 3 weeks of cold (20-40F), but dry weather here in the northeast, so I was able to put on about 1000 miles in December. But January & February was near constant snow/ice on the ground, so I didn't start putting miles on again till a few days in March and April where the road surface was viable. Frustratingly, it seemed we had a few decent times right in the middle of the work day, but then weekends were storms again!Riding with ice/snow around is just not smart ..
