Cold may mean something different for this Canadian, described on the Versys board:
So...awesome or crazy?
"Hi everyone. I was out shopping yesterday and thought I was hallucinating. I actually stopped and made sure I hadn't fallen down a rabbit hole and woke up in a warmer climate.
You have to understand that I live in Saskatchewan, Canada. This time of year WILL freeze the balls of the brass monkey and recreational riding usually takes place on a snowmobile. The temp outside today was -30C (-22F) with the windchill felt like -40C (-40F) degrees. Exposed skin freezes in 10 minutes. Brrr!
Anyway, I saw a dude riding his motorbike (a Kawi KLR 650 no less) in city streets that you can skate on....they are that icy. He was geared up appropriately but HOLY CRAP, that's cold riding.
So, I ask you, is this dude just an awesome rider willing to take on mother nature and command respect or is he crazy?"
