At least I got my van in the garage, shouldn't get much more than 20 below in there...

I will never bitch about riding in 24 degree weather again, I swear. LOL That is insane.

Not complaining at all! It is 68* right now, was a nice ride in today. The next two days are forecast to be 71* and 70*.

But this is normally are 2nd coolest month of the year!

These two videos are more typical of this time of year.

Not sure if I mentioned it in this thread previously...I've done an experiment with my Softail. Ceramic Coated the tins. Full thread on the coating procedure at this LINK.

btw, we're still having yo-yo weather. Day before yesterday was perfect 65-70 degree riding weather. Yesterday was light rain and 39 degrees....And foggy. Took this photo on the ride home.




Yesterday was the first day I've ridden it in the rain since doing the ceramic coating. Here are a few pics from when I got home. Water is beading up nicely.

It's been in the 20's every morning this week...til today!!!

Was 38* on the ride in this morning, and will be low 40's on the ride home.

I hope the cold is gone!

Was a great ride in this morning...50 degrees and sprinkling. It's warmed up to low 60's & dry. Gonna be a long, fun ride home this evening.


On another note- ParrotHead stopped by yesterday afternoon. We looked around the shop, talked bikes, riding and more. Before we knew it 2.5 hour had passed.

Good People!
