I feel bad.... the wife and I rode to lunch today... It was 75°.....
OK, I don't feel too bad, we all have choices in life to make.... one of mine happens to be choosing a place to live that allows maximum motorcycle riding weather....

Rode over an hour round trip. Load of Walmart groceries and fruit from DAKs. Rack, basket and backpack full
Harley T shirt and Bermuda shorts and sneakers. It was 21 degrees C.
Would have needed my jeans but the headwind going back had me working. Old bike is down to one gear and the tires are low.

I have ridden when it was this cold, but it was for work. I’m more of a fair weather rider these days. For 18 years, I had to ride in EVERY weather condition, but a tornado. This includes snow, up to 6” and a hurricane.

How the Hell, did you do that? You’re lucky you didn’t die. Hypothermia is no joke

Retired in 2012. For years I rode year-round. It was only 10 miles one way. About 1/3 interstate. Back shift and if I saw heavy rain coming, I would run home and grab the truck.
Can remember many a nights being 30F. Something about a Harley hugging those cylinders and the sound it makes is that weather is really different.
The Harley never missed a beat in all those years starting right up in any temperature just hitting the start.
Interesting but one can get super cold but also super hot. By the time I retired, cold was making my joints hurt. Could not do it now or at least no desire to.
