Hey Dean, if you don't already have warmers, I have a set you can use.

Is there anybody going that is within 30 kms of downtown Toronto with whom I could share trailer space?

Just seeing if he wanted to borrow a set of warmers if he wanted to come out. Not sure if he had any. And yes, we already know about tires losing heat on a cold day. I've done trackdays in November when there was frost on the ground in the morning, and raced when it was snowing in May.

Dean has tire warmers... Personally I don't see why you would want to ride the track when there is frost or snow on the ground but hey to each his or her own.
Have fun, ride safe...

Those of you who think you know everything are annoying to those of us who do. - David Brent
Will a stock GS500F do, Or does it need to be modded. Does the signals need to be remove and an Oil pan installed?

That's a good point... there are races when the weather isn't exactly perfect but there are experienced racers on the course that know a bikes limits as well as what they can do in certain conditions. Most racers will also have the proper equipment to ride extreme weather conditions. If your new to learning track you don't need a bunch of variables thrown in to the mix. My .02
I'm not new... doesn't mean I'll ever stop trying to learn tho.
Having the equipment to ride in conditions, but never having ridden in them doesn't make much sense to me. But again, I'm not as 'experienced' as you, so what do I know?
And it's going to be a nice day anyhow, no extreme variables thrown into the mix. You don't want to go, don't. Doesn't mean other people can't enjoy it.

Yes, your GS500F will be fine. If it's not a big deal for you to do, you could remove the mirrors and signals, if not, painters tape will work fine.
As per tech requirements, you need to swap out your coolant/antifreeze for straight water or water with 'Water Wetter', it's not nearly cold enough to freeze yet so that's no worry...

Mike,
We know that riding in cooler temperatures is not for you. We got it. It seems like you are being discouraging to others from coming out for some fun. If nothing else, new track riders will learn the track layout, how to ride in 13C temps and make some new friends.
