Default Rode tonight- 26 degrees

Coldest ride I've done thusfar- before it was low 40s for 3 hours in NC in March. Tonight it was mid to low 20s


Tonight decided to take the SG for a romp to meet friends and suited up in the cold weather gear and put on the soft lowers. Nicest cold ride I've had ever- friends thought I was crazy but I love taking advantage of dry roads now, regardless of temp. Gotta love the batwing

Suit up and ride!

As long as you aren't also trying to get anyone pregnant tonight,it's all good,after all it'd take AR4CE junior a little while to thaw out after a chilly ride like that.

It was about 30 on my way to work this morning. I think I'm going with some heated gloves...
