Motorcycle wind chill chart

At least I can ride.
Steve

My bike is still ready to ride but even if we have a nice day I have to ride a 1/2 mile down our soupy gravel road to get to the salt encrusted pavement

I'm done.... time for some much needed maintenance and fresh rubber.
The Mrs. is on a beautify the basement kick so we can't pull the bikes in yet , soon

I'm taking the truck to the high desert tomorrow. Rain, snow, not a good ride anyway you look at it. Going to pick up a railing to weld together so the baby won't touch the wood burner. She's into everything. Bringing some range fencing as well.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all. Stay warm.

Wife let me use the 3rd bedroom from 1980 till 84 ...... 85 my second was born and that ended that but I never forgot it. Can still picture driving to the ups ware house (winter of 81) in my Pinto in a really bad ice storm picking up my Vance and Hines header on a Fri night so I could put it on the next day. They couldn't deliver it till Mon and I could not wait !!!!......:woohoo: Merry Christmas to you too Steve and the rest of ya.

When I was in high school my parents and I had a deal: as long as the temp was 32F or higher (as reported by the local tv channel) then I could ride to school.

It's nice to have some wind chill numbers to describe the numbness and general frigid-idity that caused. :laugh:

that is a cool chart thanks for posting it. Kind of weird once the temp hits 95 and up the wind actually makes it hotter

I can tell you it's like a blast furnace. :pinch:

I lived and rode in Las Vegas in the early 80's. Oh yeah, riding around in 110F is like rideing around in a oven. Same thing here in Tucson AZ for the last 29 yrs. Still beats not rideing though. The sweat and jacket acts as a evap cooler. Biker AC! LOL!!

In the 80's I was stacking in Palm Desert (rafters, joists, etc.) during the summer. It paid more than framing, I was off that hot slab in 121* and I'd have a breeze up there. We'd quit at 3:00 and the ride home was murder until I got to 1000 Palms CYN. Down there it was at or below sea level. You can still see the water mark on the mountains from so long ago. Where I live it's 5-10* cooler at 1700'. Not much but each day coming home was a pleasure. Now I wonder how I lived through working and riding in that crap. The money was good but I'd never do it again. :dry:

Drove my rumble truck up here for Christmas. Brought some range fencing, the rails to keep baby away from the wood burner and a portrait that belonged to my mother. Looks good on their wall. My place is too small. Gonna snow tonight. Bossie's at a neighbor's place for safe keeping.

Good thing I'm not on the bike.

I know this is Nothing to some of you guys but for my thin desert blood, it's Freezing. :blink:
