A few weeks ago in North Texas it was pretty chilly atleast in the mornings but its pushing 90 in the afternoons now. On my way home there is a real twisty road that is popular with the bikers, but I have to avoid it till winter because they get on it going SOOOO slow it is painful. Corners that you can make at 60 they go 30. It Ruins my ride so I avoid it till the mornings that are in the 40s and the bikers "winterize".

38 Degrees this morning but warming up to 50s. As long as there is no ice I ride. Best part is I get to the coffee shop and my amigo is there too.

Cooler and moister? Your worst weather is better than we see 7 months of the year. The fact that you are willing to ride when it is a frigid 60 degrees or there is a 20% chance of rain does not impress anyone not living in the southwest in slightest....

Tommorrow will be 45 and partly sunny here. I plan on getting in at least a short ride...

Never mind I did not see that this is a Zombie thread....

I take offense to that statement. I jump in my BMW, not my SUV...

Loafers and slacks are standard garb for Vision riders.

hahaha I was just thinking this while riding in this morning. Low 50's outside which IMO beats the mornings when I ride in while its in the low 30's.

I only see a couple bikers now....
