HAHAHAHA!!!!! Just rode 5 miles across town and back on my GS!!!  I had to jump the bike of course.  She warmed up pretty quickly considering the temperature conditions, and we were off!!!  after 5 miles my neck and finger-tips were starting to get numb and I figured she had enough exercise for now, so I headed home.

28F at 60mph... that a windchill of -10.6F!  Snow was piled up by the plow trucks 6 feet high on both sides of the road, its like riding in a tunnel!!

AWESOME!!!!  This is the most pumped up I've been in a month (guess how long its been since I've been able to ride  ;) )!!!!

Take that, Old Man Winter!!!

to me it doesn't mater how cold it is because if i want to ride, i'll go and ride....i went for a ride 2 days ago at -4 celsius and didn't feel a thing.......yeah, didn't feel nothing because i was frozen  :lol:

yeah i went out yesterday myself . It was 46f in philthy so i installed my crash guards and went out to try and not test them. It was a beaut of a day here, i mean it wasn't warm but it's been so cold anything over 35f feels balmy. Good riding, clear roads.  :cheers:

Thats nothing, I start bitchin when it goes below 70.  I prefer the middle of summertime.  Gimme 90's-100's all year long.  I like it hot.  Kinda funny too.  Here in Florida they Buddha Loves You about the heat in the summer.  I came from Texas.  The people here need to go and spend a summer on my family's ranch.  115f in the shade.  I love Florida.
