Cold weather contest.

[Trip]

looks like I lose before I enter because I am not going out in anything below around 45

WNC can get pretty nippy too.

I'm not in the pic - but my bike is (the blue DR). I took the pic last last week on a dualsport ride. We had snow, ice, and mud - does this count?

sorry - bad quality

(the beemer had to turn around - wrong tires)

I have no doubt other people will post much colder pictures. Just thought it would be interesting to see how cold everyone will go out in.

getting dirty doesn't count, people ride dirty all year round. Street should be the only thing that counts.

About 1/2 the ride was on pavement, plus I had to take a different way home than the rest: NC209 - no traffic, dry and clean

It's still off road, thats a year round thing. It's normal around here. Everyone rides DS and dirt while their sportbikes are winterized in this area.

Yeah, cause it's so much warmer outside if you're on a dual sport.

It's not unusual to see dual sport/dirt rides in the winter in this part of the country. It's considered regular season for those rides, not like a sportbike ride.
