How far is your ride?
Either way, just walking out into the garage this morning was blistering cold and it wasn't 8 degrees :-)

We had -7 at 7 am this morning in northeast Kansas. It's up to +4 now. You are a iron-man!

was 15 here in NY LI, but with the wind chill it was more like 0. Beautiful sunny day, but way to many ice patches on the roads for it to be safe on a MC.

shame really cause it is beautiful outside

A big 6 degrees here yesterday and a wicked wind (Indianapolis)

+1.......you are an ironman to be out in 8 degrees. Even if it was sunny and no wind, that is cold! Hats off to you.

And I thought it sucked here because it is about 50* and raining. Guess I am luckier than I realize...

It was 7 degrees here this morning. I would have ridden into work but it snowed last night and there was about 18" snow on the ground, (the roads are just a little yucky right now).
Supposed to get down to -10 tonight ...... man I miss riding my Harley!!!

You got -8 and riding? Better check "the boys" and make sure they didn't freeze and fall off!
