A few years ago there was a rider who went to Labrador in the winter. He encountered typical winter temps of -40C. Can't remember the bike make but it had to be well prepared and reliable. Either it was a personal test of metal or just plain insanity making it's way to the front of the line.
Back in the 70's I rode all winter in Edmonton Alberta but it was a milder winter, not more than -30C. Lots of kick starting to get it going with an extended warm-up time before it was rideable. Thick cold oil is not a tranny's friend.
Why did I do it? Couldn't afford to fix the radiator in the van. But the ex would still call all her relatives long distance to bitch about how broke we were. Go figure.
