Well, here in San Diego we rode in T-shirts and vest last weekend along the coast....You guys wouldn't like it here!

Raining this morning but it cleared up to be a nice day.....like a high of 55F today with frost warnings for tonight, local mountains, 45 minutes from the coast heading East on Interstate 8 was closed due to snow and ice from the storm that came through last night.
I grew up in Ohio, folks moved to San Diego in the early 70's and I could never move back, that cold would probably kill me!

I can't wait! I only got in 60 riding days since Nov. 1st for over 7,300 miles. When it gets warm I will then do some serious riding. If it was 20 or more and the roads were clear I was out. I would occasionally come across other winter riders.

Never understood the mentality of putting a bike away when it is no challenge to ride in the twenties. Heated gloves and a snow suit just like the snowmobile folks. I guess some are not as passionate riders as they like to think.

Headed to the haul roads, Laughlin, Sturgis and beyond.

Yea; in about 3 months.

Got nothing to prove riding in the cold. It just ain't fun. Plus, no scenery to speak of (if you catch my drift)
