First sub freezing ride

[twotonevert]

Rode Sally to my sons basketball game yesterday morning. It was a balmy 17 degrees when I left the house. Here are a couple of shots of my bike since I installed the Puig. I really like how my gauges are open and visible now.

The ride there was not too bad, but on the way home was a different story. My finger tips got so cold they were hurting. Should have worn my ski gloves. Needless to say, I will plan a little better next time. Other than that, it was a good ride. The rear was a little loose and she fish tailed on me a couple of times. I did push the edge just a little to see where it was. Come on spring time!

Hang in there buddy, you'll be back in the Ozarks slicing & dicing before you know it...

After i got really sick a few times from riding in the cold, i hung it up. I know the feeling though of wanting to get out on the bike.

Luci has the same screen. I like the Puig alot better than the ZG. Be careful, you gotta dress for the ride. See you in AR.

17 degrees is nuts. I am complaining now and it is 59 degrees outside. I guess that just shows how spoiled we are down here.

High here yesterday was around 13 with a wind chill around zero. I'm jonesin' to go ride too, but the roads will have to be clear and temps in the 40s for a few days before I break out one of the bikes.

 

[redvoodoo]

I hear ya. Yesterday the high was 7. Today it is supposed to warm up to 10. Windchill is way below zero. I'll wait for spring.

-27 with wind chill today in WI

The packer game should be interesting.

+1 on the Puig DB. Better view of the gauges, and it creates a larger windstream that's easier to tuck into.

Stuck with the same weather here. High of 16 today, below freezing for the next week.

Can't wait for Daytona March 1.

And I thought I was bad.... James you need help buddy... I think there is a "six speed" group around your area for "riding withdrawls" They are not so formal as the "12 Steppers" but just as supportive

What finish is on the screen?
