Default A bit brisk

It was 36 degrees on the ride in to work this morning. A tab bit brisk if I do say so myself. It wasn't too bad until I got to work and needed a screw driver to pry my fingers off the grips. I guess it is almost time to put the widshield on the bike. Brrrrrrrrr

The cold is only a problem until everything goes numb.

A balmy 41 degrees for me this morning. Since I'm temporarily W/O a HD I rode my BMW K12GT and I did have the seat and grip heaters on!

The ONLY good thing about winter is it gives you time to put all the mods you want on your bike....mine's going through a whole re-build since my accident: new front end, rear end, paint job, handlebars, speedo, headlight, etc....
