Been cutting my rides short on Wed and Thur....like 290 total.
Never have to look at a thermometer....just check how bad the beard is froze to the Klim balaclava. ....Katadin gauntlets and a tall windy is my friends....just some of the perks of bein older, smarter and less a slave to fashion. ...LOL
Pete,
Rode Conover - ER - Phelps & home. I survived OK.
Have to leave your shield cracked open @ -xxF? what the heck do you expect to happen...get a suntan? Nope, I'll stay home and brag about it on the net. Jesus.....
Been in survial mode before in -30 to Lando & back ..not again... lots of problems that day that added to frostbite....venturenorth & I learned better to wait it out for a better day. Temps will be above 0 today ...probably ride over to Conover & putz around been waiting for snow to start getting closer on radar.

You want to ride in -30 go for it why do you care so much what I do & if I caution peeps about frostbite? Geez grumpy or what??
ICGARA about what temps you ride or don't ride in as well as what days you do or don't ride. But coming on this board wasting server space with a thread about "why I get frostbite" and "you should be careful too" is well.....valuable to YOU I guess. It's about as necessary as a thread suggesting saying "you better add gas to your sleds when you go snowmobiling".
No grumpier than normal.....got a BIG ride planned for tomorrow with good friends and are really looking forward to it!
Sitting out this coldwave ....-27 at 8AM just nuts! Anything -5 or above manageable for complete day of riding....Rode last year -30 big time frostbite....be careful out there.
Rode one time near Mountain, WI., daytime high got to -15F. Got back to the cabin and took my jacket off, it was froze solid from my perspiration. Was able to stand it up on the floor for over an hour before it thawed out.

Again you a self appointed mod or something & telling members what they can & can not post? No interest in a thread stand down instead of being a drag on the board.....just pointless.
I'm being a drag? One of the funnier things you've said in your www career. I'm guilty of not "ignoring" your posts anymore.....they're humorous to read......I just can't help it!
Just remember whitedust.....you started this war of words.....not me.
Feet never get cold but need air flow thru hat to keep glasses clear burns up my face. Smear carmex on cheeks helps, with little hotties in gloves also helps keep fingers from freezing but -30 no fun & sooner or later that cold will penetrate & suck the heat out of ya. IDk maybe if you eat rotton seal blubber it helps keep core warm but does not appeal to me![]()
Blah ..blah... blah ....who cares what you think about your favorite JD subject me....lol.. Knock yourself out harassing someone else this afternoon....Ill be riding Vilas finest after lunch in a snow storm while you ride your mouse. See ...Ya ....lol...![]()
So.......really.....how long have you two been married?????![]()
