Did YOU ride your LT today???

[hawg]

Well, didja????

[DaveDragon]

Well of course I did, 48F with 25 - 45mph gusts made for a very nice ride in the morning :)

[motorman587]

Rode my RT to/at/on work today. 37 degees this morning.

[Tat_n_Telle]

I have to admit, today I didn't. Raining in buckets, and the temperature is supposed to drop quickly after dark (dark is getting to be around the same time I leave work now).
Up until today, I have been. Early morning temps between 25 and 30F, but it's been dry enough not to have to worry about the dreaded Black Ice.

[amarider]

Also rode the RT @ 38 degrees this morning but the high is forcast for 74 today. :cool:
The left coast is good to Motorcyclists:D.

[rixchard]

Yeppers. since buying the Gerbings I don't care if it is in the 30's when I go to work. After all, being in Dallas that means it will prbaly be in the mid 60's by afternoon.

[_Warren]

Yup! I do just about every day! :)

[edonthenet]

:mad: Raining like crazy now and supposed to turn to wet snow by time I get out of work.
Spent 3 1/2 hours in the garage this morning putting on my HID's and can't even use 'em, bummer :(

[BillyOmaha]

It's only down to the high 40's in the mornings so I took the K-R. Without the fairing it's very......ah......invigorating.;)



.

[Bayliner2052]

Nope, freezing fog this AM.

[grifscoots]

I'm riding my DR mower now! Er, that is, walking behind it.

[Lzyellodog]

No weather very crappy.

[BecketMa]

It is only 12:30PM. Supposed to be 80F.

Probably be out in the afternoon, running errands.

Bob

[WFZone]

Nope....30 and snowing with 3-4" predicted overnight. Hopefully, the roads will be dry by this weekend.

Ohio winters suck!

[pozo_izquierdo]

No I did not, bike in thousand pieces all over my garage...

Regards

[Malki]

I was out to play on mine as soon as the ice lifted :D

[wacked]

Yes everyday I work and the temperature was only down to 40 this morning with it getting to the mid 60's or the low 70's today.

The left coast does offer some great riding in the winter months

[Zotter]

I woulda - If she weren't in a coma just now.

New Odessy battery'll be here Wed - I'll make up for lost time then.

[BobW]

No.....I ride the LT about twice a week. Ride the KTM a couple of times and might take the Ridgeline one day to handle some errands if I need more carrying space.

[stringplay]

always do unless there is, or a chance of, frozen stuff on the road....

[bmwusmc]

Yup, got my LT fix in this morning..do it everyday that is rideable..that is, no blowing dust and gusty winds..

[meese]

Not yet, but what a good idea. Bye.

< edited four hours later >

That was fun, thanks for the suggestion. :)

[JPSpen]

To buy Thanksgiving Livations..

Then I felt guilty and rode her for about 20 minutes to warm her up good..

Have a Good Thanksgiving Everyone !!

Spence

[Tbird]

Yea....I did. It's sitting outside in the parking lot here at work.
The bike thermo read 33 degrees as I was arriving. I was chilled but
not stirred.

[zippy_gg]

Yes I did ride... to West Valley BMW only to be told they could not give me an estimate on the repairs for my bike after the rear-en/sandwich incident as they are too small and don't want to take on new customers.:( Then to Hollywood BMW where I got a much warmer reception and got set up with an appointment to bring the bike back...
All this is so going to impact my riding...! :eek:

[slmorley]

Yes everyday to work unless ice is on the road. I missed 5 days in the last year. My Gerbing light jacket goes on if below 40; my Gerbing jacket liner over heavy jacket with Gerbing gloves if below 20.

[tmgs]

Well, didja????

NO!!! Did you?

I've been working on the shopping cart stuff, ARRRRGH!

I like learning this stuff but dang it's pretty tough to get all working together!

Tom

[dandiver]

Yep... Must be warmer in Tampa then New Port Richey. Left for the aquarium around 7:30 and it was 59'. Love those heated handgrips and seat.

[Ted Shred]

Well of course I did:) It's a chilly 70 degrees in Sac Town right now:D

I have yet to put the liner in my Kilimajaro Air jacket this season, might have to if it gets any cooler LOL

[atps1234]

Yep! And every day since I got it!

Woo hoo!

OB

[Lzyellodog]

I can say now I did. I was really looking to ride. It was not looking good earlier today but I rode it home from work. I keep it there when I am not riding. It was about 39 degrees and it was flurrying.

[Colin1952]

Ride every morning. Suppose it helps that we are coming into summer in Oz (sorry guys).

[rlsmith2]

Every morning @ 0530. Mid 40s in the AM, 70 in the PM. Love this weather.

[LJSMITH1]

I rode mine to work this past Saturday....23F at my house at 6:15A :eek: :eek: . By the time I got to work it was 29F. When I left at 2pm it was 43F...

I had the Nitro pants and jacket as well as warm gloves. I was fine!

If I had to ride for more than 2 hours in that temp, I would become a bit chilly :cool:

-L

[02lt]

Sadly, no. All the tupperware is off so I can do the speedo fix, and it is -2C and snow on the ground. I could easily hate all you guys who have warm temperatures and clear roads. Yes I'm bitter!!

[xrmattaz]

My girl remains unscathed, yet I am still unable to ride due to my recent "almost tip over".

Percodan and Valium on board to squelch the pain. Perhaps Friday??

[Steve_R]

Well, didja????

Of course. Question is "DID YOU?"

[DarrellM5]

Yep, 400 miles to Ely, NV and back. Temps ranged from 31-61. Great ride.

[tvguy]

I did today and I think I will tomorrow too... The desert is nice this time of year... :p

[waycoa]

Just over to coffee shop in Aptos; then shopping for magazines and art supplies in beautiful downtown Santa Cruz. Took a nap then off to band practice till ten pm...tough day, eh? Prolly do more scenic and twisty bits tamale.

[JetDoc]

Morning temps in the high 20's, afternoons in the low 60's. Bright sunshine all day long and not a cloud in the sky! I'm sorry to say my poor old LT is sitting in a back corner of the garage while I'm out exploring the high desert on my new V-strom. I hear it's snowing back in North Idaho. :D

Ride Safe!

[mlempenau]

Rain or Shine, but no snow.

[hammer]

it was 33 deg. at 7:00 am and clear as a bell and rose to 71 deg. of course I rode.

[paulcbrowne]

No. Lots of surprising icy patches on the roads this morning. Snow forecast tonight. Severe withdrawal coming on. I AM NOT READY FOR THIS! Guess it's getting close to time to drag out the lift and do the annual tupperware take-off.

[ksailor]

15 degrees F. 2 inches fresh snow last night. Makes it pretty nasty getting off of our hill. Will wait for dry roads on the northern slops. Happy Thanksgiving all!!!

[Lzyellodog]

Rode to work this morning, thermo read 29 degrees at startup. Quick ride in to work. Then one of my fellow biker nuts said lets go for a ride. He is on a GXR. We were gone for about 40 mintues when we pulled over and he asked if he could warm up on my bike. So we sat for ten minutes on a dead end waiting for him to warm up bit and off we went. The Thermo never read above 33 degrees. Some ice patches to negociate but nothing we could not handle. Happy Turkey All.

[jwd98056]

Yep, every day. It was 38 and foggy this morning going to work then 45 and sunny on the the way home.

[tsBMWminer]

:yeah:
It was 41´ and SUNNY
Just a short hop.
I Will ride till ice or snow, Not much of that here in Portland

[pkpr1998]

Yepper! Ride every day. It has been in the high 20's and low 30's in the AM.
Gerbings? Come on!

Really I am jealous of the ones who have the attire!

Happy Thanksgiving

BTW, rained like crazy all day this past Monday. Did I ride? Of course! Did it make any sense? No!

[D.Kinsey]

Yep, about 250 mi. 82 out...Whew!
Happy Thanksgiving All. We do have alot to be thankful for!

[LT2B]

Yes I did!! By the time I get home from work, I'll have added 50 miles to my 01. Life is too short to travel in a cage!!!

[JCarver]

No, I didn't ride my LT today, nor yesterday, nor the day before, not even a week before. I know, you are wondering if I am a poser. Rest assured, no. I ride my Concours daily, it takes the daily grind. The LT is for the pleasure rides. :-)

John

[jtalbot]

Is the Pope Catholic? Of course. The temps here in Denver have been running in the mid to high twenties for lows with highs ranging in the high sixties to low seventies. :) We expect good riding weather until Sunday when there is a 50% chance of snow. :( Colorado's best kept secret is its weather. Skiing in the mountains and motorcycle riding in Denver and the plains! :yeah:

[FredR]

Nope! Fritz is sitting on the charger watching the snow fall. Looks to be about 4 inches so he may be there for a few days.

[ksawatsky]

Took each of my 4 kids for a ride here on the NE side of Dallas! Having just moved here from Minneapolis, this is awesome!

[ziggy]

No ate to much turkey :bmw:

[ELKHNTR]

Yah, you bet!!!!!
The bird babysat it’s self in the oven, while my Daughter and I took a ride to the coast and back…..
Now I’m on the couch ‘cause there’s just no way I could be sitting on that seat now going anywhere with this much turkey in me.
Nap time……Come on Tryptophan!!! :sleep:

[thalpin]

Yes - It is the day after Thanksgiving and I was one who had to be at work. A lovely 23F and very little traffic made for a very nice ride. Everyday, year round as long as the ice and snow stay away. Occasionally have had to ride home in the snow. No problem staying warm - as long as I can stay away from the ice.

11-23- 2005 about 30+, cloudy and windy, very short trip to the store for TDay supplies. Fargo ND! Heated grips do come in handy.

Rick

[Lzyellodog]

Yup rode again today, was about 25 degrees. I stayed on the main roads because we had snow yesterday. Just wanted to make sure I did not happen on some ice. Roads were very clean and dry. My wife was a little worried however. She did not think it was such a good idea. What can I say I am addicted.

[hschisler]

I did ride the LT today, for the first time in 3 weeks. Recently had my gall bladder out and wasn't cleared for "unrestricted activity" by the doc until Tuesday of this week. Today was the first day I've had the chance to even think about riding. Thus, "yes" I did ride it.

And "no", I didn't really ride it -- it was only a four-mile round trip to run a quick errand, and the 26 degree day here in central Ohio, with my limited riding apparel choices, really made it more of an endurance than a "ride".

Still, it was fun to get back on the LT. Think I'll be doing some shopping for Gerbings gear real soon.

[docwagner]

Rode from Greenville, NC to Philadelphia with a back track of 108 miles to pick up a misplaced handbag, total 550 miles. Max temperature 43 degrees minimum 28 degree. Riding back tomorrow, hopefully without the need to retrieve misplaced luggage. Temperatures expected i to be in the 40's. All I have to say is Gerbings are great!

[Dezrae]

have not been riding in a week. im in the process of manufacturing some guides for my headrest, um backrest to plug in to.i have most of it jb welded to the bike. waiting for the jb weld to cure so i can remove hte jigs from the bike and add more jb weld to it. should be able to go riding tomorrow afternoon with some luck!

[dlancello]

Yes I did. Did a childrens charity ride that started and ended at a bar. It great that the bar owners organized this event but it might be a good idea to start the dide sooner than 1:00 PM so people wouldn't have as mouc time to ddrink befor they ride. I don't drink much and rarely if I am going to ride. I was the only BMW in the group. As a matter of fact the only other non Harley was a Gold Wing and we both gave every one else plenty of room.
with all tyhat said, it was, as always great to get out and ride even at 40 deg.

[bmwusmc]

Had a nice ride today with my son as my 2 up backseater..Day after Thanksgiving..He's got a K1200RS and he's visiting me for the Thanksgiving holiday so we went out for ride together..you know, the father/son thing..Picture this..Me, the old fart, with his son 2up on a spin around Lake Mead on a beautiful clear day just enjoying our bonding experience (can you feel the love??)..After the ride, my son gave me a thumbs up on my handlng of the LT and he's been riding for quite awhile(longer than I)..Man, my chest is bursting with pride from his positive comments..Life can't be any better than that except,of course, when I'm out on a ride. As the Corbin saying goes, RIDE ON!!

[AlaskaFish]

So who is still riding up North these days? Personally I had been avoiding the roads this week due to the freezing fog in the mornings, but today was severely dry so we rode!

18' on the back porch, but Katie was showing a balmy 27' on her OAT gauge riding to work this morning!

Love the looks we get from the other drivers!

John

[pozo_izquierdo]

Naw...not me. Too much snow and the bike in thousand pieces in the garage...

[parishollow]

And I was cozy on my heated seat with the grips on. As long as it isn't icy I like to ride to work.

[pcra]

Yes I am riding a bike and it was minus 3 degrees in Bern Switzerland this morning to work but the roads were dry. The K12 is in the garage and I am busy servicing it in and out so, my old 83' XJ650 does the winter job and my polar-boots.

[hschisler]

Still considering myself a new LT owner (have had it since August), I'm dying to get out there and ride. I have Gerbing gloves and socks (unused, to date) but the snow and ice are keeping me commuting in the car. Stop the madness -- stop the snow and ice!!

[CriticalMass]

Still considering myself a new LT owner (have had it since August), I'm dying to get out there and rideMe too! We don't have the kind of weather you all get up north (OK, "midwest" ;)), but it's getting uncomfortably cool here in Texas this time of year, too. Very frustrating!

And I'm a really new LT owner - less than 1,000 miles on the clock!

[jkersh1]

29 and windy in Flagstaff yesterday. Grips on high, seat on low, Widder vest and gloves on medium. Wish I had tucked my jeans in my boots or tightened up the bottom of my Darien pants.

[DaveDragon]

Had a Great ride in this morning at 52F.

[Steve_R]

I find it interesting that a post that was opened almost a month ago is answered today or yesterday like this is a brand new post. Not critizing, just stating that I think it is interesting.

It used to happen on the old site too. What really boggles the mind is when that post is over a year old.

Cheers everyone. Have a great weekend!!!!

[pedavids]

No temps in the low 20's 8 inches of fresh snow on the ground with enough salt for a small ocean. but, I'm envious of you guys that can get out and ride.
Enjoy,

[PePa]

Can't ride even if roads were not snow and slush covered, my baby is in the shop waiting on a new wiring warness to arrive then hopefuly installed without complications. All this is happening under warranty since the radio stopped working a week before my 36/36 was due up.

[LT_Tripping]

Just got back from riding...a cool 45 degrees here.

[STARFIGHTER]

Rode a couple hours in 32 degrees F and just got out of the hot tub........
Life is good !!!

[Bruce7]

Not today, then again here is a photo of the traffic today!

[docwagner]

OK, you're excused.

[tsBMWminer]

I Will ride till ice or snow, Not much of that here in Portland

It was 25 And WINDY:thumb:

[stevea2980]

Yes I rode today and tonight.

It was colddddddd in Seattle.

[bob_menton]

Not today, then again here is a photo of the traffic today!

And that would be ..... where?

(Pssss ... please add location in your profile ... thanx)

[Way2Fast]

I only wish. My bike has been in the shop since Oct. 1 getting a new motor. They just finished it this week and are testing it before I go and pick it up. I am still fighting with BMW to cover it under warranty. The bill is $5800 but I had them replace the clutch while they had it apart.

[hschisler]

We don't have the kind of weather you all get up north (OK, "midwest" ;)), but it's getting uncomfortably cool here in Texas this time of year, too. Very frustrating!
"Uncomfortably cool"?

"UNCOMFORTABLY COOL"?

I'll take "uncomfortably cool" over ice and snow. I envy all y'all down south this time of year.

Area roads are actually decent the last couple of days. We've had several rounds of flurries but no additional accumulation. I may take a ride after church today; forecast is for a high of 30 w/a 30% chance of flurries.

[ATLDB]

I sure did, for about am hour only but I sure did, Atlanta had a beatifull day today very pleasant high 50's and the greatest thing was little to no wind, which around here is what usually make the ride cold, it was GREEATTT!!!

[oknplm]

You are right about the weather in Atlanta today. We took a ride up to Fort Mountain (east of Chatsworth, Ga). From the lookout area you could see for miles. The temperature was 42 on top but sunny, no wind and clear. Warmed up to 57 by the time we rode down to Ellijay. Arrived home in time to get in a wash and dry. The top of the mountain had a lot of salt residue because of the recent ice storm that hit Atlanta earlier this week.

May we never see the end of the road!

Perry Ridgway

oknplm

[cfell]

Yup....not till tonight at 1800... just arrive home.. nice.. just niiiice.

[McAllister]

Seasonal best this morning in STL. 16 degrees with a warming trend to 18 for tomorrows ride to work!

[Robin]

Not my LT, but I rode the loaner (R1200ST) in. We're having a heat wave and it's gotten up to 33 degrees with a high today of 40.

Robin

[Triker]

Yup! Only 9F when I left home this am. I figure if I can ski three days this past week in 9 degree weather, I ought to be able to ride my bike too. :D

[zippy_gg]

Nope! Bike is still at Honda of Hollywood for estimate after it got rear-ended in a parking lot on November 28th... :(
I hope to be back on 2 wheels soon... going through withdrawal...:eek:
