Tomorrow and Tuesday are both supposed to be above 50* and that's warm enough for me to warrant going out on the bike. Who else is getting out for the first time this year this week?
I was out riding the last 2 days with the temps around 32-34F. Took a drive with the wife today but I'll be back out riding again all of the next few days with the temps in the 40F's. Not quite as warm up north here in Willoughby as it is way down south there in Canton. :icon_lol:
I'm actually at home in Southington right now (Niles/Warren area) on spring break, so it's not quite as warm here, but you're up on the lake, I feel bad for you :icon_razz:
I've been riding ~50 miles to work for the last couple of weeks.. it's a little cold before the sun comes up (high 30's, low 40's) but a lovely ~70F for the ~50 mile ride home. I love Arizona!
I'm hoping to make it out sometime this week. Wednesday is supposed to be 56. This weekend is supposed to be high 40s, but there's a lot of rain in the forecast for this week. Before I can do anything I've gotta go to the notary with Heather to transfer to the title into my name. She doesn't have her permit anymore, and I can't insure her bike in only my name when I live with her because they assume she'd be riding it but I also can't insure the both of us because she doesn't have her permit, so that's a hassle. I'm hoping to get it inspected this week as well. Either way I'm definitely hoping to give it a good test drive around the neighborhood Wednesday evening regardless.
I got the bike out Saturday and Sunday. 4 - 6*C (41*F) in the afternoon.
There is still too much melting going on here, with temperatures below 0*C in the morning and evening.
I nearly lost the back end on ice Sunday eve around 8pm coming home from a course.
Afternoons are great though!!

It was chilly riding to work this morning (20 to 25* F).
It will be 50s this afternoon though!
I went out monday and rode about 55 miles...it was nice, but not all that fun. Pretty much straight roads, and i had to take the turns really slowly because there's still salt/sand/grit from all the snow melting on them. It's supposed to rain for a few days then clear up so hopefully the clears up the roads some.
I went out for my first ride of the season and my first real ride ever this weekend. The weather was great, high 50s and sunny. We did about 35 miles all low speed riding in portland neighborhoods since im a beginner and still a little timid. Im definitely looking forward to getting out again soon.
I rode in to work this morning - yeeaaahhh! It was a little cold, but not too bad. It's great to tweak my fellow motorcyclists who haven't ridden in. 'You're a whimp!' or 'Do you even own a motorcycle?' or 'Do you even know where your motorcycle is?' or 'Your bike is just a trailer queen.'
'Hope that you are all riding safe!
Rode about 120 miles today, although more-so out of necessity to go pick up some parts for my car. All highway, no fun :( The weather was nice though.
