Default Finally-My kind of Riding Weather

Left out just at daybreak this morning for coffee, upper 50's felt good. Love the cool weather for riding. The wife, no so much. I can dress and stay warm, not able to get cool when it's hot.
The coffee was good as well as the company this morning. Life is good. Everyone have a blessed day.

It's in the high 60s here, topping out in the mid 80s. Maybe our 95-100° days are over.

Mid fifties this a.m. over here by the big lake, high of 65 today, great riding weather. Some a little bit of color in the trees yesterday, heading up north next weekend. Just have to keep an eye out for Bambi and friends.

11 am this morning,it was 93 and humidity hadn't been blown out yet by the ocean breeze.Been a hot summer here in South Florida and have at least another month or so before we get some 75 to 80 day time temps.But by the time snow flies up North,our prime riding season is here.

Yep GTX plan on doing some riding in the Sunshine State after the First of the year.
Bambi will be out, Little Brother left out for Colorado to do some Mule Deer hunting. Guess we'll start shelling corn next week, be riding the grain truck, not the Hog

It has certainly cooled down in a hurry, did a ride from Louisville to Detroit yesterday, just North of Dayton the front was very apparent, cooled down from mid 80's to low 60's and unfortunately with that came rain and rain and rain, spent the next 3 1/2 hours in the wet cool day.

I don't mind riding in the rain its just part of the experience, add cool weather and if not dressed correctly it can be miserable. The Olympia rain gear came through again.

Spent 2 1/2 hours today cleaning the road grime off the scoot today and just as I am finishing its starts to spit again, needless to say I am sitting reading the forum and hoping tomorrow is a better day.

60s here. Love being able to toss on the leathers and full face. Clean, crisp air through the visor and the awesome Fox Creek smell. Perfection.
