I just did. I wanted to get back home before midnight cause the crazies are already out weaving in and out of traffic. It was very cold (in Californian standards) at 45º, I had to use the full-face and thermals but a good ride none the less.

Happy New Year everyone!
Wow Maxx,how do you keep it on the road with such a violent wobble?The only thing I may be riding today is the couch or the snowmobile and walk behind the snowblower.Foot of snow on the ground and another foot to be added by wed.Snowing now.I have no idea why I live here!Glad you had a ride.Toby

I just did 150 miles in 36-43 degree weather. It actually cooled down as the day went on. Got some flurries towards the end of the ride.

Local HOG chapter had their mystery run today. Left at 1:00 PM with a temp of 34 degrees and 10 to 15 mph north headwind. Rode into to the headwind for 30 minutes or more. Little chilly, but we had 30 bikes make the run. Good time!

Just got back from a 150kms ride round trip just to get a coffee. A little chilly in Western Canada, but well worth it.

Went out for about two hours today. It was about 45 here with a stiff wind but Sunny in PA. It was great to mount that bitch and have my way.

Yep, went out for about an hour today. Was maybe 35 to 40 degrees with snow still on the ground and some ice here and there on the road. The rear end only broke loose one time and that was on a right turn from a stop sign. Didn't really wanna go home but my fingers were freezing. Gotta get some better gloves.

At least my 60MPH endo on my Goldwing was
exciting"

Your golpher hole doesn't sound like it was
any fun at all" [&o]





Update, Wife and I were looking forward to the Blessing of the Bikes by local CMA today. So, took off boot, and rode to WM parking lot for the Blessings.

Was our first and was very very happyto be atthe event. Over 300 people were there in 40 degree weather...

Had the Bike Blessed which was very special towife and I...
Meet wonderful people from CMA..

Made it home without any damage to ankle...Man upstairs was watching over us...
