Default 45 is warm enough

I couldn't stand it any longer....long johns, sweatshirt, thick socks, stocking hat, boots and leather....just got back from a 45 minute ride through 45 degree weather.


I feel refreshed.

45 degrees is great for under the covers bump and grinding but not so good for riding (Harleys that is)

I'll get the under the covers a little later today....ex-ol lady is stopping by, what can I say?

I just had too much anticipation built up....got my new exhaust on Monday...it was driving me nuts not being able to ride....Jedi-mind-tricked myself "it's sunny, the sky is blue. Go ride." It took about a half hour to start feeling the sting of cold undermy gloves, but it was worth it.

Or maybe I'm just nuts.

This is Ohio...2 weeks ago it was 72 degrees. Rode120 miles. Then 2 days later it snowed. Then 2 days later it was 65 degrees. Rode another 150 miles. Then 3 days later it was 19 degrees. Ordered my pipes and it was 55 degrees. They came in 6 days later, temp dropped to 32 and snowed again. It's not supposed to hit 60 for another 10 days....

I had to do it, man...I just had to!

NICE...I rode to work today. It was about 45 when I left the house. I was a little chilly but not too bad in Jeans, long-sleeve shirt and leather jacket.

My new riding criteria is almost temperature independent...if the sun shines, the bike is out of the garage.
