This miserable winter might not yet be over for us in Toronto, Canuckistan but we got one good day for riding with a high of 15 deg C! Tomorrow it's going back down to 5ish. Pulling the girl out of storage. So excited!

At least it stopped raining at Pearson today. I flew out during the rain.

Client is in K-W, and the drive back to Pearson on the 401 was not fun. However, the Hyundai Elantra was pretty invisible, for better or worse.

Nice! As long as it's ~30F in the morning I've been taking mine to work the past few weeks.

The high today is supposed to be 70. It's going to be weird not riding home with 3 layers of pants.

What do you ride? Aside from being cold in the winter months, I have always thought that the tires just wouldn't be up to the task at lower temperatures which would make it quite unsafe.

Do they make snow tires for motorcycles? Aside from the spiked kind for ice racing dirt bikes lol.

Tires seem fine in colder weather, once they're warmed up. I have a 40 mile each way commute so the first few highway miles I'm really, really careful but after that it's ok.

Beyond the studded kind, I have no idea. I imagine they must make something for adventure bikes that can handle snow.
