Man, its hard for me to figure how warm it is with the farenhiet system, who ever came up with that?
Okay...you are way younger than me then. I still revert everything back to fahrenheit, as I was almost finished school when metric came to Canada. I believe it was 1977 when the road signs changed to km. I was in grade 11.

I don't like riding with people I don't know. It's not a personal thing, I just don't trust folks riding ability.

Could not agree with ya more, lots of people were saying come with us and I thought the same thing. To many bikes, I don't like riding in a pack.

Been riding for a week now. Forecast says snow tonight. Ground's not frozen anymore, though. It'll be OK in a day.
