Ever Wonder What The Temperature Is At Riding Speeds...

[Wildwing]

I came across this wind chill chart, and thought I'd share it.
You folks in cold climates probably already know it.

When you are riding and the snot in your nose freezes, you know it is cold.

I'm just sayin'!

:smilie_happy:
I can tell you one thing the older I get the smaller my comfort zone gets smaller.
Used to be temperature in the 90s and all the way down to the teens did not bother me.
But as I get older I do not like it above 80 or below 30 anymore.
In another 20 years I will have to stay in a climate controlled room (probable padded)

I did that a long time before Dumb and Dumber did it!

December 26, 1985 the temp was 5 degrees and I had to ride from PA to VA to get to work the next day. Riding at 60 MPH the wind chill was -26 degrees. I spent more money of coffee than I did on gas.

Hey that chart don't go low enough for me when I'm riding the sled at 10*- 15* at 50-70 mph :hihihi: :hihihi: :hihihi:

Thats a cool chart,
I find it interesting that as the temp reaches 95,the wind chill rises rather than drops.
That would explain why I hate riding in 90 plus degree heet.And I just thought it was just becuase I was a michigan wimp.

 

[AApple]

According to the chart(which only goes to 65mph), I rode 40 miles to werk @ less than 9 degree temp...bbbbbrrrrrrrrrr!!!!
