This was after midnight and only half an hour from home, so I just needed to make that final push!

Used to do that in MN...when I was in my 20's. Now that I'm older/wiser and know the risks = no way!

With a name like yours?! Sounds like your natural environment. In my case we simply don't get the same severe cold weather as we did back in the 60s to 80s. And I've grown out of riding year round for the sake of it......

I tried that last Saturday. My lady parts started hurting so bad I threw in the towel and went straight back home.

Forecast is 19* here today. The bike is in the grudge where it's 40*, I'm in the house where it's 67*. My Winter riding days are farther between than a few years ago, takes too long to warm these old bones after.

We recently watched a tv programme about the 1925 dog-team relay to deliver diphtheria serum cross-country to Nome, in the depths of an Alaskan winter. That sort of push - through the frontiers of human (well, Harley owning) endeavour!

I rode to work in the fall before the snow fell at about 15 degrees. Encountered some flurries on the way, but since it was dry road I continued on. Parked in the shop here at work for the day. I think that was my last ride that season due to the snowfall that came overnight. Gotta do all the riding you can in the great white north.
