Rode to work this morning with minus 3 showing....Getting a bit chilly, almost had my grips turned up to 3/4 heat.
What's your saying ? :popcorn:
Essex Boy.
Haven't got round to resetting mine yet, but I was showing 23 Farenheit at one point, so -5 celcius - twas a tad nippy...
Don't understand bikes going away for the winter..!
Anyone gone colder than -5 today ?
Can't beat that, only -4 for me. Had to break the ice off the seat though and the key wouldn't open the panniers till I got rid of the ice in the lock!!
Had -4 last night. Lock on the top box froze! And -3 on way to NEC today.

Nope ... I only managed -2 this morning at 0530 on the A3 from Guildford ... and the same home to the south coast this evening .... it's chilly but I love being wrapped up with the grips on. :laugh:
16C yesterday noon. :whistling:
This morning little bit chilly it was about 8C :grin:

Yep, same here, and was quite the shock after being in Cairo last week at 22C :shocked:
Winter is officially here. Long live Gerbings heated kit. :laugh:
Martin.
Ride to the NEC yesterday convinced me I needed new winter gloves. Got a good deal and hands nice and toasty on the way home. Sorted. :banana:
Essex A12 this morning on my ride into the city was -5. :no:
Don't know since the roads are so slippery around here that I don't dare to let the beast out. :sad:
Be careful out there people.
I saw a bike get slow-motion side-swiped by an out of control sliding car this morning.
Biker managed to not go down but has a bruised shin and needed new undies. :shit:
In weather like this the numpty-moron-faqwits are out of their depth.
My bikes going nowhere until the sleet goes. :no:
-14 here where i live in Norway and it have started to snow.
It's just started to snow here but nothing too serious, we had almost -14 here a couple of years ago, I thought it'd be colder than that in your homeland.
Stuck in the snow on the penines now.
Yes, I shouldn't be using mobile in the car but as I've moved as far as an asthmatic ant...
:police: Get off that phone now!!!!!
:mfr_lol:
Last Sunday saw +39 ( degrees Celcius ) !!!!!!
Deon
36 deg C - here abouts ... :laugh:
.
Now hang on a sec guys, this thread started out as "what does your guage say"......not how ruddy cold is it in your part of the world.
Minus 14 is good but only if you are out riding in it.
As for those saying it's 30 degrees here at the moment......GRRRR :gun_bandana:
My car was nice and cosy at 25c yesterday whilst I was stuck in the snow

Of course you haven't. But if you ride a GTR it will have a Temperature gauge, And I think this is what he is talking about. :oops:

If you flick through the displays you will see Battery, tyre pressure, current and average fuel consumption and - wait for it - outside temperature. And that is the temp gauge we're obviously talking about.
BTW mine showed 3
o yesterday
Not on the older models it won't.
oops sorry...this thread for Mark 2 's only.....
Would that be technically correct...i.e calling it the "Mark 2" :popcorn:
Snobs,
Coman (Mk 1)
What? You guys can't even see what the outside temperature is? :huh:
Who was that again claiming there were only minor cosmetic changes in 2010? :2guns: :mfr_lol: :mfr_lol:
snobs: :hammer:
yes i ride the mark 1 and proud of it. finaly upgraded from my 1992 zzr. and now im told that my 08 is older :2guns: do you guys know what a new GTR cost over here?
no but I'm sure you're dying to tell us ! :mfr_lol:
I'm waiting for the Beast from the East to arrive, then we'll see the men and the boys.
Mark 1 owners are recommended to visit Halfords if you want to stay with this thread! £4.99 I gather.
pull pin, throw and await the response. :oops:
I think the GTR in Johnny's home town is just under £40k :wacko:
About £30k LW. My 2nd hand 2008 with 33000km on it is about £16k.
Darn newfangled widgets. Next you'll be telling us it has heated grips and traction control. :whistling:
I look at the thermometer in my garage and pay attention to the weather forecasts.
I don't ride on snow an ice any more.
Been there, done that, it :censored: hurt and was :censored: expensive.
:stupid:
OOH ERR, -7 and freezing fog on the A12 today coming in to work at 8.00am. :no:
Careful out there guys.....unless your GTR is tucked away for the winter.
Now turned to +10 with non stop rain and wind .... what's happened to global warming ???
Had 19 farenheit t'other day, so -7.5, SWMBO told me her car was showing as -6.5, so I think my bike is a pessimist at heart...
Thats official then ...-7.5 is the lowest temp GTR forum riders have taken their bike out in this winter, unless anyone can say otherwise. :popcorn:
Well done Bumpkin..
