32 degrees is ideal riding weather...or so it seems round here. Actually it is not that bad, with the proper equipment (jacket, gloves, helmet). I have found that I can tolerate anything down to about 20 degrees for a little while. With a 70 mile trip plan on a couple of legs of it, break it down, find somewhere to stop and warm up. On colder days I like to find a dealer or indy shop somewhere between my start and finish locations to stop in at and shoot the breeze.
No, That is not what we were saying, but if you don't have any, then yes...lol. The point I was trying to make was to plan it where you could possibly ride about 20 miles, stop, warm up, and repeat until you got back home. make a day out of it, have fun, meet some new people, have more fun.

I introduced myself a week or so ago in the new member forum.
I stated I grew up on dirtbikes. I've owned a couple sportbikes...
I just purchased my first harley.. I finally have the funds to do so, else I'd have bypassed the Kawasaki's........ Actually at the time I was in college and thought they might pick up more tail... lol (young and dumb)
Anyway, I started this thread screaming because I can hardly stand the wait. I bought this bike from my wife's uncle (tricked '92 fatboy) He hasn't ridden the bike more than 2K since he bought it so he was getting it serviced for me before I picked it up this weekend!!!
Welllllll... The high in Oklahoma City this weekend is somewhere around 32 degrees (about 70 miles between our homes)... suck suck suck suck...
Sorry.. just needed to vent..... Maybe it will warm up next week... then again it could be march...
sucks
PS- I'm Travis. Glad to find this site. Seems AWESOME... Howdy from OKC!

Congrats!!!! Yes, you can ride in freezing temps but it does kinda suck IMHO. Have done it but don't like it. I'd trailer it or load it up in the back of a truck and just get it home like JW said. However, the gauntlet has been thrown down by the guys to ride it home freezing temps or not. Looks like your nads have been called into question. LOL!!!
