Today was the coldest day I've ever ridden
It was 26 when I left the house.
Had to go to the dealer (about 35 miles from home) for an inspection and new rear tire.
I did notice the engine was running alot leaner in the cold air and had to keep the enricher 1/2 out most of the way! It was coughing pretty bad without it.

It was -7c here this morning (20.6F), waited till it warmed up to about 2c (35F), bundled up and went for a ride. The bike didn't seem to mind it, it was great just to get out......have to be really careful on the corners though, still a lot of road sand. Supposed to warm up a bit this week with lots of rain....What a difference from last year!

I rode back from Augusta North Country yesterday to Machias. It wasn't as cold as what you had today, but I had to ride 130 miles. I stopped in Ellsworth for a hot coffee, then back on the road, by the time I got home it was about 48 degrees. Bike ran great all the way.

My bike gets horrible gas mileage in the cold. Other than that, it seems to run fine. Even in the lower 20s.

I hear what you are saying. A little over a year ago, it was cold, in the 20's. I had been thinking a about buying a new scooter come spring. Any how, I had a week day off so I got a wild hair and rode to my dealer and traded my bike in on a new one. Got a pretty good deal. Life is good!
