Darn it!

Getting ready for work this morning, get all geared up to ride as it is supposed to be mid 60's later on. Boots, chaps, leather, head out the back door and slip on some ice! Back inside, off come the boots, chaps and leather and find the keys to the cage. Darn it!! Check the temp....28degrees!

If there's no ice/water on the roadways, RIDE.

Sometimes it's hard to tell until you're right on top of it. I would have made the same call. Maybe not for the ice but for the low temp. Yeah, I'm a wuss, can't stand cold weather.

I feel your pain, up in SK it's pissing rain and 2*C, I wish this weather would sort itself out!! I live in the UP of MI when I went to College and that Lake effect weather can sneak up on a guy, I think you made a good choice leaving the bike at home.

Sorry for your pain. It's been raining off and on all week here. No ice though. I got to ride to work today though. I don't mind the cold so much but if there is a chance of rain....I don't like to ride. I am so ready for the nice weather to come with more days of riding than not. Today was a day to ride for me!

Man; I can never understand why you people live in that part of the country. Worst weather imaginable Only thing I can figger out--the women up there must be hott & horny as a New Orleans funeral--otherwise why would you live there? But if they are--I'M THERE like TOMORROW!

Yea; 28 degrees in April is just obscene! It's been in the 80s here all winter!
