Good luck on that commute, I had to do a double take on the temperatures in the Central Valley when I looked at my home page, couldn't believe it was in the high teens/low 20's, but you probable all ready know that from your trip to Sac.

I got out yesterday and rode for a couple hours when it was 35*, froze my balls off but it sure felt good to hear that V4...

Whoa, looks like we are not the only ones getting the unexpected cold weather. We see cooler temps in the 30s all the time in fact low 40's is the norm, but what we are seeing now is way over the top cold.. now it's suppose to snow Tuesday, Sheesh!!! hang in there Sloav8r you're a brave dude.

24 when I left the house this morning, took the truck, with the seat heater on high! and I'm in the flippin desert, Tucson, it's not supposed to be like that here.

Did go for a quick ride yesterday afternoon, was 46, cold, but well worth it, just cant stay off that new 07 rwb, what a blast to ride, but then I'm not telling anyone on this board anything new.

SLOav8r · 01-15-2007, 12:08 PM

Lowest temp the bike showed on the commute was 24, most of the drive was between 32 and 36 degrees. brrrr...

I guess I might as well get fitted for my poofy pink dress, since I ain't riding anywhere in 20 degree weather.

You guys are nuts.

Its not the cold that gets me (within reason) you can dress for that. Its the snow, ice and salt. I'm not taking my baby into the salt. If you live in a dry place you don't tend to have much trouble with ice. Roll on spring.

Been itching to ride, but gravel EVERYWHERE! I don't feel like going skating.

hatzyian · 01-16-2007, 01:33 AM

Just to upset all of you, Its 17C/65F outside, clear blue sky, and I'm off for a ride!!

freewheelburner · 01-16-2007, 09:01 AM

Dang, I have to wait until mmm May , June! No sympathy here! Ya know I have a friend in Scottsdale that keeps telling me to move there. I am starting to wonder if I shouldn't. Riding all year round sounds very appealing.

Brian and I got a ride in Sunday that was pretty nice until right at the end. The temp started diving quickly there after the sun dropped. I felt like a popsicle by the time I got home. It was nice until then, though.
