-26

[Midnitemo]

its no secret I prefer cold to hot but -26 is a tad cooler than I like , I have in the past done some extreme winter motorcycle rallies which were more akin to a sado masichists endurance trial (ellefantreffen/chrystal/dragon and primus rallies)people have died of exposure on these rallies , I've had to rug up the bike and build snow walls around it to keeps the wind off then light a fire under the sump before starting to get the oil back to a liquid state....I found this a real chore but doable for 5 to 7 days but I can't imagine putting up with it for months on end! no wonder scandanavia has such a high suicide rate.....heated clothing/visor makes it bearable but put an incredible extra strain on the already struggling battery
