Frozen Copsicles
On the way home from work today, I say two highway patrolmen riding side by side down I-35 on their Road Kings. The temp was about 32 degrees and they were wearing half helmets but that was all that I could see because they were a couple of car lengths behind me and in another lane. Those SOB's had to be freezing their asses off. I sure felt sorry for those boys.

RE: Frozen Copsicles
Just west of Indianapolis on I-74 today I saw a cop, maybe a special funeral cop, riding at 60 MPH and the outside temperature was 8 degrees! He had on a full helmet and I have to assume some heated clothes. The next exit was 10 miles before he got off at the exit. Whatever he was doing I hope he got paid a lot. It was COLD.

I got a tourmaster riding jacket and pants set. It's been in the low 30's every morning at 6:00 when I leave for work. I find the Tourmaster stuff, along with my sheepskin boots and a full-face helmet keep me pretty toasty.
8 degrees might be a little extreme, though...
