Default 52 deg quick ride

Couldn't stand it anymore. 52 degrees outside in Louisville, KY. Put battery in and off I went.

52 degrees?? That's prime riding weather here in the northland! :-)

Today it's currently 28 degrees and there is about a foot of snow on the ground and more on the way. If it was 52 degrees I would be putting on a jacket and taking a road trip.

Minnesota, someone please remind me why I live in this state?

Wow -- 52? I might ride without gloves in that weather!

It got up to 45 yesterday (Christmas) and I was out riding for three hours. The day before it was 40 and I almost fell over myself trying to get out the door while it lasted. I had to shovel the driveway so I could back out.

Wish it was that warm here....

Warming up to the mid 40's in NY. Planning on getting out after the rain tomorrow or Friday.

[sm=lol.gif] Yep, 52 would be very welcome in these parts,too. It was a sunny 37(relatively nice day, and the black leather absorbs the suns raysquite nicely)here and I came very close to taking a little ride. But before I could get my gear together the sun started playing hide & seek and it cooled off.

I wish it were as easy as just hooking up a battery!

I got as little anxious this year to get my modifications going, kinda tough to ride without wheels.

But 50 degrees is nice, that's almost beach weather, isn't it?

Been in the 30s and 40s here in VA...... been riding everyday this past week for about an hour, just in case I can't soon enough.

If it hits 82 here in the next month, I'll ride naked.

I hope to be able to ride everyday, at least through New Years day.
