Driving or riding?

Drove the Volvo out. Come spring I'll be making the same trip on the bike. It was -14 in parts of Iowa, not sure my riding gear is rated for those temps.
-14 with a 75 mph wind chill, no thanks. My personal (have fun) riding low temp is 40. Anything below that isn't fun, unless it's doing the Elephant Run.
And thats only for a few hours, not 2 days.

Personally my fun factor ends about 25 degrees, I can stand down to 0 with my current (non-electric) gear. But bike tires get squirrelly around those temps...

Join the club homie. Did that trip twice in a week. I've driven from CO to MD and back, most of the time with a bike in tow, 8 times.Originally Posted by tecknojoe
