I’m sitting on zero with a real feel of -3 and a windchill warning, I do have the full windshield and it makes difference, I just ordered the tusk rear panel yesterday. Maybe this coming year I can get those overpriced Honda oem doors!!! I’m thinking about making my own, not sure just yet.

Dang! I been thinking about a full windshield and back panel, but I'm pretty rough on stuff, tore my rear view mirror of last month, not side view, rear view, if I would have had a windshield, it would be broken also. My half windshield is scratched badly, I prune on the move, HA! Sure would be nice to have a cab enclosure in this kind of weather!

Sounds like you need a smaller machine Smitty. Or stronger eye glasses and better brakes?

Reminds me of what my grandpa used to say about me....

That boy could tear up a ball bearing in a grease pit!!! Lol

I prefer a heated body. Liked my 3 setting Milwaukee heated hoodie so much, also got the full jacket. Works for hours on a M12 battery from my tools. Got a POS from a motorcycle dealer, Tool maker versions much better.

Oh yeah those jackets are great. I’ve got the craftsman version which was less than half the price of the Milwaukee. I’ve got a lot of the M12 tools but couldn’t pay that for a jacket. The craftsman 12v Nextec is the same battery and the jacket was under $100. It works so good and charges your phone for you. They quit carrying them about the time Milwaukee came out with there’s. They even had camo and my brother got it.

Just shorter and I thought brakes were to keep from running over people or trucks at camp!

HAPPY to you and yours too.

Just hit ZERO here. Supposed to maybe get to +2* and then head towards -25* with a 10 - 15 mph wind!

It’s 6 here and on its way down, supposed to be -15 when I get up to feed cows in the morning, c’mon spring lol.

Just got back from a ten mile ride, only about 8 degrees outside brrrrrrrrr. Started and ran just fine.

My mother in law used to tell me I could tear up a bowling ball with a feather duster lol

Just got back from riding up to visit my Grandchildren about half a mile away. Lots of snow with ice under it so had to use 4WD. Definitely NEED doors if I'm going to ride very much at -12*!!!!!!! Ride was great, other than cold with snow blowing in.

Went inside and played with the kids and when I came out and started up the Pioneer the power steering light came on and I don't have power steering????? Any ideas?

 

[Mudder]

Kinda cold for SE. checked weather underground site. Must have missed the 102 to 20 degree change Sunday! LOL.

Thaw it out, check for power steering, bet something got wet and froze. Bet you already did this?

Sitting in the shop but haven't turned the heat on.

Was ridiculously cold trying to ride just a mile without doors
and the weather forecast doesn't show our air temps getting above +25* for the next 15 days.

Between work and a couple of good books, I think that I'll be fine.

Happy New Year!
This arctic chill can’t last forever....I hope.
I am thankful the P500 has no power steering and my woods have tight trails...all that turning keeps me warm!
I see lots of fawn tracks which provide warming thoughts of future jerky!!!

I was out one time, I don't know what the temperature was but the shrinkage factor embarrassed me.
