Default I just couldn't do it!!

There is a poker run today in OKC, I registered for it about a month ago, but this morning the temp was 17 degrees, light south wind that is supposed to turn out of the north 20 - 30 mph... I'm about an hour south of the city by interstate... I guess I'm just one of those fair weathered riders that everyone talks about... excuse me while I go bury my head in another cup of hot chocolate...

Don't feel bad. I was planning on it as well, I guess I am a Candy ***. ( For those who don't know, it is called the candy as run)

Hey, I was bopping around and I read your comments about the Candy *** run. I did a google search on 'candy ***' and this is what I came up with. It doesn't have anything to do with your run but I thought it was worth sharing.

Stay warm!

Are you shi**ing me!!?? I wouldn't ride in that weather to collect my winnings in the state lottery if they said I had to pick it up on my Harley!!

Well, yes I would but I'd buy a damn heater with some of the money! LOL!!!

I don't care what people say. I've ridden in 30 degree weather and it physically hurts. Just wait alittle while, it will get warmer.

BBBBBRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!

LMAO!!

Call it what you will but that takes the fun out of it for me when it's that damn cold.When I have to bundle up to the point that I can barely move to be warm,I,m out! I,m sure someones going to give you **** on here but for what it's worth Iwould have stayed home myself. I probably wouldn't have bragged about it on here though! Just kiddin. hope it warms up soon for you. PS. it's been about 75 for over week here in northern california![8D]

I am with the most of you all on this one. I hate riding in the cold, I just can't stand the "numb" feeling, the I'l never thaw out thinking and the teeth shattering chill on the face jus plain sux. So I think you did the right thing. My recommendation would be find a shrink for those that rode.
