    We've had a lot of very miserable weather here, like a high of 10 and low of about -20 for a week. High winds and blizzard conditions (wind hit 110 mph a few days ago) Geez, I can't hardly walk away from the fireplace. Haven't even uncovered my baby for a month already. What's with this stinking weather?????

    Taht is not very nice to rub in there MC. :rant: There is no snow here, just a little cold but there is just so much friggen sand and salt on the road that I don't want to take out either bike. I would ride in this 20* weather that we are having any day. I would just start to invest in the heated gear. :rolleyes:

    Rode again this afternoon. 42 when I left Asheville, rode up to Mt Pisgah. Guess it was low 30s up there, cause I climbed about 3,000 ft. Was sunny and pretty though until I hit the last tunnel before Mt Pisgah ... ice on road in tunnel... got my attention real quick!! :eek:

    Weather is weird in Iowa so far too. Have had 14 below temps, and 4 inches of snow that came with NO wind. That just never happens here. But temps have climbed back up to nearly 40 this weekend. The longer REAL winter holds off the better!

    Years ago when I was young and hot-blooded, I went for a midnight ride on a hot and steamy nite with a hot and steamy gal.............totally nekkid. We shocked a few boys and girls that nite riding home from a bike show. They thought they were dreaming! Ha!

    My motorcycle memories ain't nearly so pleasant! Temps here are average now and for the forseeable future: low 30s to mid 50s. Not too windy. Haven't been outside for a few days, which for me is unheard of. Cold is still kikin my az. When the beast is running, I'm riding it. Period.
