It is 8 degrees outside but looks sunny enough to go barefoot outside....Well kinda..:). Hope others are putting in some miles this week.

Too cold to even work on the bikes......Below 20 in the garage.....:bow1::06biker:

That's a great view and probably worth not riding for a few weeks.. but wow, when you start adding the word 'Below' to any description of the temperature, well, that's more than I think I can handle... then again, I'm used to 'Above' in the description... "Above 100 again for the 20th day"... lol

Wow!............folks still riding daily here........no snow, dry roads and temps in the low 40's. Now some 90mi. straight south of here(Ouray), sure that is a different story and likely a lot of snowmobiles runnin' around on the streets.....and hills:eek:.

Todd,

You picked the wrong side of the mountains. We're still riding over here on the Wet Side (with heated gear).:nanana1:

Pretty picture though!

YaYaYa..........it hit zero last night.......Wish I could still ride........:bow1:. Check out the "steam" coming off the lake this morning.....Air temp was zero and water temp is probably about the low 50s.........The dark cloud is collected lake effects humidity.

If you have a problem with the cold and snow why don't you move south?
No problem at all......My boat is tucked away nice and comfy on it's trailer. Am planning on going south in March though. What are you doing at the end of March sir??

There is actually a Honda Accord under that mound behind my truck. I was visiting relatives in Bend Oregon earlier this week.

Not quite the view that Todd has.

I have missed 5 days of riding due to weather. It looks like good roads for tomorrow though.

Since the first of the year, I've lost about three weeks worth of commuting on the bike! We haven't had rain like this in a long time!

I usually won't ride in the rain if it looks like it may be heavy, this traffic is just nuts when it comes to rain! :eek:4:

We had freezing temps back in January. I left out of the garage made it to the stop light just north of the house with no issues and then turned right to head out to I-5 and the bike did a little shimmy on the ice. I called the wife and told her to get the Excursion started and gingerly made my way back to the house. I missed 2 days there.
With all the snow we just received I haven't been able to ride the last 3 days. Tomorrow is looking good though. Traffic has been lite because everyone else stayed home. Watching the HOV lane moving while sitting still is no fun and then having some moron ride the bumper:mad:. Some with obvious expertise at rear ending other vehicles:think1:.
