It's dumping snow here, -4 C.
Tinkered on the WG for a while. Took some pics but don't have the cord to download.

What's happening where you are? pics?

I'm in Phoenix too. I went out this morning for a ride. Definately need a jacket in the morning, but by about 11:30 it wasnt' too bad. Prolly do another short ride this afternoon once it get's a bit warmer. Now that I have a bike I don't know if I could live where there's snow and ice.....

Same here, had to wear a sweatshirt and the jacket.
Sunny and 50 degrees, just came back from a 100 mile ride and only saw a couple of other bikes out.

Just had the scoot out on the deck for a washin, girlfriend thinks I'm nuts. It's in the upper 20's right now but I rode last weekend and didn't get time to wash it before I put it away. As I was drying it the water drops were frozen! It's been snowing on & off every other day, so I think I'm done riding for the year. I got a couple small jobs to do like taking off the reflectors on the fender, install new spun alum. speedo/tach,send out exhaust bracket for chrome,put on my new custom plate(MOOLA), plus a good detail job. Winter doesn't suck,it's the snow & ice that SUCKS!
