I'm a little better tonight. It was sunny and in the mid 50's today. Got out for about an hour country ride after work. After I got her warmed up I think I was wide open in every gear, had to get that urge outta me Was trying to beat the sun home and almost made it. You could actually feel the air getting colder after old Mr Sun tucked in behind the horizon.

Arch - good on you!
Jay - I can't believe you put the bikes up ... I figured that's why you got the police RK. You should just get a (QD) fairing (bare bones about $800) to keep the rain and wind-chill off your hands and maybe some fairing lowers (primer finish $377 shipped from Chicago Harley) or at least some 'desert dog' snap on engine guard chaps (~$50 or so) to keep the rain and road spray off your feet.
I guess you've seen my fairing photos ...! I just got an e-mail that my lowers shipped today and should arrive at my house next Tue (I'll be out to sea until later in the week--bummer).
I expect to be riding all winter ...

I'm nice and fixed from the cabin fever now. Went out for about 60 miles today. It was in the upper 20's, but I threw on my Carhartt bibs and jacket and hit the road. Went by and got dad's E-Glide, it's amazing how much warmer it is with that windshield. Turned on the tunes and got about 4 weeks of frustration outta me. I got some real crazy looks along the way as well.

There's no reason you can't ride in the winter.
