A day full of rain and a night of clear skies brought us into the high 20s last night. The pups got to sleep in the garage on a stack of blankets. The thermostat in my hallway was flipped to "heat

Way better than any stinkin' gloves ever. I rarely ever even need insulated gloves. So my perforated summer gloves with all the nice carbon bits are the same gloves I ride with always.
Also, I wear a bandanna bandit-style when the temps drop.
It's a little sad that my bike's top speed is just shy of 90.
Wimp... "8.8 degrees with windchill".. blah. Try Riding the same bike in 3-degree weather BEFORE a verified 154mph run(verified with a super-huge ticket).
Once, I was riding into Topeaka from Manhattan down about this time o' year and it was about this cold but the wind was screaming down out of the North at some ridiculous speed and I remember having to lean into the blowing wind about 40-45degrees to the left and passing under an overpass where the wind was blocked for a second....
that is a hellava weird feeling when the bike jumps a foot to the left until you hit the wind again, where you have to lean in or get blown to the right into the on ramp curbing....
anyway, better you than me....
hey hold up a minute, I vividly recall a certain LJ friend of mine having a fantasy that involved snow and a partner....
I know that feeling exactly. The first run to Cassoday, KS and back this year we road in 40-60mph crosswinds. Came home with a sore neck and slanted tires.
I would still LOOOOOOVE to have sex in the snow. But has it happened yet? No! Have I been told that it will never happen? Yes.
I'm with ya. I kinda have a reputation at work for taking the bike even in total "only a complete jackass would be on a motorcycle in weather like this" kind of situations.
lol D.. you're going to quickly find that it's not sexy at all. The first time you pull off your helmet to find sweaty matted hair, or the first time you crash and end up bruised and road rashed, or the first time your bike doesn't start or dies on you and you have to push it somewhere ... not sexy at all.
But my ass does look really good in some tight jeans on a bike. ;D
