14'F ride froze my bagels

[Bikerbozo]

14'F ride froze my bagels. No, that isn't a euphemism. I took a nice chilly trike ride out to get breakfast for me and the missus and the butter on the bagels was frozen on ride back.:Joker3::AGGHH:

Wow!..You are a real man! You win! Wonder what the windchill was. A group of 25 of us went for a 100 mile ride yesterday and it was 30...That was bad enough. If I went for a ride at 14, I am sure that more than just my bagels would be frozen! And that IS a euphemism!!

What's an Euphemism? Don't thin I got any of them...........:Shrug:

Euphemism means a word or expression that means something else. In this case, think about something that might get very cold that you don't want to get cold. At least if you are a guy. To put it more plainly, it's when you freeze your off!

 

[Ol' Man]

Well Bozo, Just trying to yank on someones chain, didn't think it would be you though. Enjoy reading your posts.....Keep it up.....Ol' Man...:wave4:
P.S. You got bigger Bagels (Euphemism) than I do at that temp...:AGGHH:

I love to ride but there is no way I would ride at those temperatures.

Believe me after ten minutes or so, You won't feel the Cold.

'Scuse me -- it ain't just the guy's that feel the cold!!
"The girls" have been near frozen on a few occasions

 

[Trent]

I am curious why you are riding around in the cold with butter on your bagels?? I prefer baby powder.

Turns out the 14'F was the warm day for the week.
Just rode into work and it was 5'F when I left home. Tried to freeze my slide-rule off (I'm an Engineer), but I had too many layers on. The Artic level gloves also. A wind chill chart puts the 70mph I was travelling at -27'F.

 

[Trent]

Whooo!...You the man!! You could ride in the Antartic!! Like I said earlier..you win!
Good thing you protected your slide rule too,,, they dont work too well when they are frozen. If ya know what I mean.

Every time my wife sees an image of snow she says " Snow, I'd love to be in snow". She has never been in contact with snow. It's extremely rare to see it in Queensland ,then only on the southern tablelands for a day or 2.
I don't know how you guys do it. Just those numbers are making me chilly. I guess it's the old " It's not bad weather,just inadequate clothing" story.

When we left for a PGR ride the other day it was 30 out.
Was almost 70 on the way home.

Last year while on our riding tour of USA I saw, and touched my first snow! ThumbUp We were staying with friends in SLC, Utah and rode up into the Wasatch Mtns. My friend even got off her bike and went and got me a snowball to throw.... cool!
Also saw it up close while riding Beartooth Pass. Really beautiful site to see the snow capped mountains.

Get you and your wife some gerbing heated clothing and ware a three quater flip shield hemet with a ski mask are a full face helmet,and you can ride lots colder then that as long as there is no snow are ice on the road.
On a sunny day with no wind are a light wind it makes for a nice ride.

I agree, So far the only snow we had was in October, Went right up my driveway with ease, I had a Can Am [3 years] with traction control and abs, I would have to push it up the driveway. As soon as the tire would spin the engine would cut out.

 

[tomg]

Had tires mounted and blanced on the 2-wheeler yesterday so I went for a 75 mile ride in a t-shirt yesterday-Oh, I'm in central Florida and it is in the 70's today too !!!! This is why I retired in the sunshine---to ride all year round!!

Another 14'F ride into work today. They are calling for 1" of snow on ground tomorrow. Stay tuned if I decide to take trike or not (no problems on it but cars are driven by complete *%$@!!!

 

[Nana]

Bozo..... you really aren't "right"!!!!! :Trike1:

 

[Memnoch451]

Being that I grew up in IL.. I always thought of winter as being an indoor sport. Don't get me wrong I'm ok till about -13f. But. I like it hot and never miss a ride into the 126 deg plus in AZ or NV... time for a heated vest!

 

[Bikerbozo]

Woops, the snow started about halfway home. Not much on road yet before making my driveway. just wet and wispy. roads totally covered 1/2 hr later when I went out for Italian dinners (In truck, precious cargo and all that).

 

[Bikerbozo]

Barely any snow on road when I went into work. Once I left local roads, no challenge at all.

Who says you can't drive year round in Conn/Mass/ NY . I tried to ride in 90 DEG weather last year and quit after an hour . I ride in full gear . Boots , Jacket (denim if it is hot ) and long pants . Above 90 it is unbearable . Soo the Heat is a stop point above 90 and the cold below 30. I rode 60 miles 3 weeks ago it was 45 deg. If I lived in the south I would stop in Late June til early Sept. and up here I stop early Dec. til late March . One year,1999 I rode every month .I saw quite a few bikes out last week JAN 5th-the 10th . My 3 bikes are packed behind the snowblower and the generator , just too lazy to move anything to go for a little ride .

Good snowfall yesterday. Too many morons on road, so I stayed in truck (yes, I own 4-wheels also). Went out today nice and early Sunday on the trike. As long as I didn't use the front brake I was good. Parked at Bagel store and guy comes out and says, "Don't take this personally...But...Are you crazy?" I don't think I need to answer that for everyone, do I?:Freak:

 

[rhino 2]

I Went out yesterday with the T/G, 4 inches of snow 17 degrees. Had to get my paper, cinnamon bagel and coffee, Like you say stay off the front brake and it gos just fine. Got to the Delly at 630 am, No traffic. The owner of the Delly asks me are you nuts, Na i tell him ; It's mind over matter,
If you don't have a mind it doesn't matter,

Hey, when you need a Bagel, you need a Bagel!!! By they way Rhino. Here is a nifty trick for you to try in snow (if you haven't already). If you lock up the front brake, counter-steering will send you in correct direction. For example, turning wheel to right will give the least amount of surface area to the left, and you will go that way. Actually works best in a couple of inches of snow.

SNOW :Shrug: What's snow? :Shrug::Shrug:
We got 86F today and tipping 104F on Thursday :wave4:

Don't know this snow stuff

Right on with the Bagel.ThumbUp
Next time I'll try the counter steering.
