i was thinking the same thing until i walked outside and couldnt see 10ft in front of me due to all the fog they didnt predict. would have chanced it but i have a lot of wildlife in the area and with fog just makes it that much more interesting. almost hit a raccoon in the truck on the way in. well maybe tomorrow

I rode to work yesterday, it was 34 when I left the house and it was 55 in the afternoon for the ride home.

Right now it's 46 for the ride in, and it's supposed to be 60 for the ride home.

Spring! Spring! Spring! Spring!

Monday, 32, nice and clear though, beautiful ride into work -30 miles one way. Tuesday, 28, foggy. Hum, I'll give it a try - fog stayed high, needed coffee when I got to work, but it was not that bad - moister in the air made it feel colder on the face though. Today, a blistering 39. Real nice ride in - clear.

I think it was last Thursday, 23 when I left the house at 6:30, clear as could be. The SG fairing makes it ok. The air wrapping around to the face made me keep the bandanna up, but it was bearable.

Ahhh, it's good to a biker.

I rode in to the Pentagon today! The temp was 51 with thick fog, but I had prep the bike the night prior and I was going no matter what! It looks really nice out now.

Horrible weather in Texas! Only supposed to hit 81. No clouds, good possibility of sunburn.

I'd better wait for it to get cloudy.

Rode my RG all winter down here in the Atlanta area. I use the HD heated jacket liner & gloves and was able to ride down into the high teens.[sm=biker2.gif]
