This thread is amusing.the cold don’t matter I dress in layers. But people who have been riding for a while know tire temp and ground temp are very important. I don’t care how good your tires are when the ground is 40 traction is scarce. Ask any track day rider. Going fast in a sraight line is not hard and lol 127 gps? Hahaha I wheelie that hahaha. But seriously talking from lowside experience don’t push it in the turns when its cold. My tires slid out on me a few times this year when it was chili. And everyone please don’t talk crap to the thread stater just let him do what he wants and find out the hard way. Who cares? ---

Pheonix is just trying to show off and sound like a bad ass rider. We all know that people like to impress other riders. We just all need to take it easy in the turns when its cold that’s all I’m saying. ---

> [@Phoenix 305"](#): > > With the cold coming there are 2 things that are pissing me off. And its not the weather. its the gripes coming from people that insist they love to ride. Im hearing too much of this.1. People who are calling it quits and putting their bike away because its cold. Its in the 50s still. That’s not cold. Put a hoodie on and suck it up.2. People who will ride but won’t ride fast because “its cold out and my tires won’t heat up.” This is so untrue. If you think otherwise consider this, last night I went out with B5A4 and we did the \*\*\*\*\*\* at a GPS verified 127 mph. And I didn’t feel the need for 5th gear. Not once did I feel any lack of grip nor was it a concern. Plus im on Sportmax GPAs which heat up relatively slow.To some it up, stop bitching about the cold, and stop making excuses. Get out and ride. Dude, what’re you doing inside posting when you could be out RIDING?!!?!? ---

IMO…it’s the lack of his balls, more so of a vagina-esque nature. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/open-letter-to-riders-bad-ideas-inside/74565.md?page=4) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/open-letter-to-riders-bad-ideas-inside/74565.md?page=6)
