I'm impressed/horrified by the cold weather you describe. Why do people live there and endure that? Aren't there buses heading south?<br /><br />LA is okay but San Diego is the King of Good Weather. It is always 70-degrees F there.<br /><br />Motorcycle tires lose a little traction in the cold, so I corner less aggressively. It's similar to riding in the rain.Shybikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15263331247319768989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885867892898159023.post-71955316672312497262014-11-11T21:47:36.277-05:002014-11-11T21:47:36.277-05:00I need a onesie made out of that high tech materia...I need a onesie made out of that high tech material. <br /><br />I'm sure that the bike handles differently in winter road conditions. I would think it could be quite dangerous. I would recommend it here! It's already scary enough with ice and snow on the roads to drive an SUV. <br /><br />I'm sure you already know how much I hate the cold and yes...I live in a place where our winters are harsh and I basically hate them. If I could I would live in LA. Where you don't need a whole new wardrobe for every season of the year.<br /><br />I stay warm by layering non stop, wearing lots of fleece, extra socks, long coats, down and hats. Doesn't matter what I wear on my hands though...they are always cold. <br /><br />bisous<br />SuzanneSuzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03891315017218863243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885867892898159023.post-89773014377664796722014-11-11T21:42:52.927-05:002014-11-11T21:42:52.927-05:00Come to my home in winter...it gets as cold as -35...Come to my home in winter...it gets as cold as -35 C! and believe me...at that temperature no one wants to be out hiking. <br />Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03891315017218863243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885867892898159023.post-6291521926074344072014-11-11T08:50:38.112-05:002014-11-11T08:50:38.112-05:00I admire your outdoors activity.

Boots and gloves especially, in my opinion. Nothing is worse than cold extremities. <br /><br />Lisa.

Maybe it's time I quit whining and actually dress properly for the elements (with a dash of style of course) and get out there and learn to love it again! Thanks for the inspiration!ZIDAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07230307266885545425noreply@blogger.com
