Wife's been an Iggles fan for her entire life. Talk about character building. I've learned to avoid her on Sundays

Just pick up some warm clothing, a full face helmet,a detachable WS and go for it. I've ridden in the northeast PA winters in temps as low as 18 degrees. Yeah, people in cages look at ya kinda funny (probably think yer insane!!) but I don't give a chit!!! As long as the road aren't white with salt I ride the Sporty.

On another note, that was an awesome game...9 sacks...Steelers did absolutely nothing....As you can probably tell I bleed Green...Go Eagles!!!!

I ride year round in NJ, except when there's snow or wet salt on the roads. Layer your clothing, and get heated clothing for when it gets really cold. You can do it.

You poor bastagas are making me cold just reading your posts...I'd pack up and move down south if I were you. It's a buyer's market might as well take advantage of and move on down here.

I would never move south! I can't stand the humidity.I'll take a chilly ride over a hot and oppresive one any day.This morning I had to bust out the leather jacket and gloves.
The leaves are just starting to change around here.Plenty of good riding til it gets really cold.And the Eagles game was great.Dallas still sucks...

People were looking at me funny as they were out shoveling snow and I was riding the bike around the neighborhood. I think the bike sat from Feburary till April.
