I have a 1994 Kawasaki Ninja 250, and I live in Massachusetts. How do I keep my bike in working condition during the winter months?
Any other tips for riding in the winter and snow?
How different is driving in the winter/snow (I KNOW ITS COLD). How do the characteristics of the performance of the bike change?
Thanks a lot.
Answer
first of all, your bike doesnt have water so you dont need to worry about antifreeze. you do need to run a thinner oil, and make sure that you warm the bike up before you take off. Buying and hooking up a "Battery tender" at nite will make sure it starts each morning.
Tires are a must for snow, see your dealer for fitment.
Now the important part, I know you will ride alot when there isnt snow, You must have real winter riding gear. Normal gloves wont last a mile at 50 mph and 30 deg f out. You need winter riding gloves, you must wear a real winter motorvyvle coat, with layers undernieth (But coat oversized), you need a helmet thats full face, with anti fogg vents as shield will fog up as soon as you stop, you will need to wear thick pant with chaps over them as the wind will go through your pants. Wear insulated boots, NO STEEL TOES, or you will loose your toes, and you must take breaks. Ahhh yes, that area between helemt and jacket, get it covered with a pull down face mask or scarf. Else you will be sorry !

What is the best kind of bicycle helmet?

I am in the market for a bicycle helmet. I am a casual cyclist...I just have a mountain bike that I don't ride too often, so it doesn't have to be a "professional" one. I just want something comfortable with excellent protection and something that has adequate ventilation. Can anyone recommend a good helmet for someone like myself?

You should be able to get a good quality helmet for $40. I would look for one with the foam molded into the shell. They hold up a little better. Most helmets are well vented . THey also should have a retention system.
The most import is fit. Go to a bike shop and try several models on. They should stay in place fairly well if you shake your head without the chin strap tightened. If you feel a pressure point, you may want to look for something else. It will get very annoying after a couple of hours in the saddle.
The Giro Transfer goes for under $30-$40 i in molded, has a retention system and is well vented. I am sure there are other comparable ones. But a comparable Bell or other branded helmet should have similar features for about the same price. Just buy the one that is most comfortable.
