Yes, nice riding weather this weekend. Saw two other bikes while I was out there, wonder if the rest are in storage "winterized"?. Did get a thumbs-up once, which brought a smile to my face.
As long as they don't put down salt, I don't mind riding in colder weather to prevent PMS. Once they salt however, that is it for me until Spring.

A group of us left St. Peters, took 94 to 67 across the Mississippi, up 100 with a quick stop in Grafton, then on up to Harden to Mel's Riverdock to eat, then down to the Golden Eagle ferry back across the Mississippi and back to St. Peters, great day for a ride!

Up here in New England....I don't "winterize" the bike. Lots of days above 30* F...quite a few bump up into 50's.
I used to ride down to around 20*F but getting old around 30 is my bottom limit now.

I had found a really nice (low miles) Wide Glide in Jeff City on CL so I went up there and bought it, took a nice 150 mile ride back home with a steakhouse at Lake of the Ozarks and a few detours along the way to sight-see.
I ride any chance I get all winter long.

Yep! I was out! 50 and sunny here west of Cleveland. Cold along the long but nice just a little south of it. Saw 4 others out enjoying it. There aren't a lot of days to ride in North East Ohio in December, so just had too.

Nice! There seems to be a wealth of good-quality used bikes in MO.

Didn't mean to derail the thread. Sounds like the weather will look a lot different by the end of the week. 37*/19* highs on Thursday.
