Pretty Nippy this Morning 5 Years, 3 Months ago  
When I left the house at 0530 this morning it was 38 degs. Now mind you I was dressed right but it was still cold on the R* on my way to work. It was in the upper 60's on my way home and had a very pleasant ride home. My wife thinks I'm crazy, but I like the $120 a week I save and think it is worth it. I have only driven my truck 2 times in the last 4 months and plan on riding all winter here in coastal Georgia.

And for those that want to know, 60 mph at 38 degs. has a calculated wind chill of 22 degs. I know this because I looked it up on NOAA web site.

Oh, and some thing else, I have put 9K mile on my bike since I got it the middle of March.

I think it was around 38 at that time of mourning here in Western Washington, I didn't look at the temp until about ten.

I'll ride when it's that cold, only thing is, I don't have to go to work.

Right now it's 50 so that's about all it'll get today.

Our riding season just died this morning. Supposed to have 14" by Saturday night. On the plus side that's over two feet in the mountains and I'm going hunting finally! Elk fear me.

34 here this morning. The only days I don't ride are when its raining when I leave. The hospital where I work has a terrible parking situation but the m/c pad is the close to the tower where our shop located. The only problem I have is keeping my hands warm below 40 degrees.

Yep, me too. My finger tips were the only thing that got cold this morning. I bought a pair of deer skin & kevlar insulated gloove that were on clearence for $40 from on line, the list was supposed to $80 so I thouhgt I was getting a good pair of gloves. I'm not saying there bad, but I wish they were a little warmer.

Every body please ride safe and if you're going to take wild life do it with weapon not your ride.

30 degrees and snowing, but my nearest bike is 1100 miles away. It was almost 80 back in Texas today. Maine sucks.
