Got home from work tonight, took the dog for his walk, pulled the bike outa the garage just to fire it up, thinkin about takin it to work this week n wanted to make sure it'll start since it's been below freezing for a week or so, 35 was the high today in Toronto, had to scrape the windows on the truck this mornin.
Well it started right up, so I went for a quick rip. Freakin cold @ 80 MPH with no gloves.

I snuck out of work a little early a week ago Friday when we had the 60 degree weather and got out for a bit...have been itching to get back out again since. Sunday it was edging towards 40, but the garage really needed cleaning out...this weekend...was planning to pick up hubby's new scooter on Sat, but they are saying 33 and snow?!?!!!

I was out Sunday as well, it might have been high 30's but a full face helmet, balaclava, gauntlet gloves and underarmor with the leathers do the trick. I just finished my cam and 95" build 2 weeks ago and had to get out and work her over.
