42 and dry when I left at 7a for my 3 mile trip to work. Had to go to the bank later on and it was still 42 with drizzle. Oh yea, did all that without gloves.

Tomorrow I have to make a 125m round trip so I'm breaking out the heated gear.

Heh, wasn't bad going to work today. It sucked **** going home, though. Sure feels colder when you're wet.

21 degrees this morning. I enjoyed my ride to work and so did Coppertop. Did a couple of figure 8's in the parking lot at work and laid a nice stripe on the way out. It's unbelieveable how much more torque the motor puts out in the cooler weather. As long as there's no ice or salt on the road, I'm ridin'.

I rode tonight. It was only 37F but felt pretty damned cold without the windshield on the bike.

This weather is driving me nuts. I need to get riding. My old F150 runs nice but it's no Ultra. Doesn't help that I have new heated gear that needs a work out. Ice and snow this week. Suppose to be warm enough for only rain on Friday. Maybe I'll take my chances then.
