Fun 20 mi round trip to wally-world. 62 degrees. Not much carrying room in sporties, but I figured it out.

LMFAO!

Had one to many beers so just went out to the garage and cleaned her up a bit. Finished in time so I can watch the 2nd game today (Cowboy/Seahawks).

Got up in the mid 60's here. I went out and was gone for 2 and a half hours. On the way back, pulled in to wally world to fill up, saw a dresser in the parking lot and went over after filling up and asked if everything was okay. His shifter lever had gotten loose somehow and only needed to reposition it and tighten it back up, so it was a pretty simple fix. His 10 or 11 y.o. daughter was with him and he really appreciated that someone stopped. An RK pulled in to get gas just as I pulled out from the pump and while I was watching this guy fix his bike the guy on the RK left and didn't even look our way. Hopefully he figured the two of us simply had the 'problem' covered and he didn't think we needed any more help (at least I hope that's what it was).

My wife had to work, so I took the bike out to her cousin's house and talked to her family for a while. It wasn't too bad. I don't have much for cooler weather, so I don't get out too much under 70F just yet. Back when I had my sport bike and all my leather stuff I took a few out of state runs at 30F. I think those days are over, I have no desire to suffer again.

Just got back from a 40 mile ride. Great day. Sunny with temps 65-70.

I hope the games tonight are better than today. Ride safe everyone.

About the same here. Temp said 43 but it didn't feel anywhere close while going down the road.
Was a good ride though

Wife and I had planned to ride, but it just didn't get as warm as they thought and once our family started rolling in, we both knew it was not going to happen. W shed our boots to our moccasins and I can honestly say it has been a great day.
