Fifty Seven

Post by RoadKing »

57! Degrees! Gonna reach that here in about an hour and then just flat line at that temp until 9AM tomorrow at which time it will climb into upper 60’s! Unreal! It’s raining but still lots of salt and sand on the roads so I have to resist the temptation to ride. Won’t put my iron through that corrosive filth. Patience indeed a virtue.

Yes,sir. Our warmth will be short lived until what you experience now arrives here in two days.

Normally I wouldn't give a rats @ss about the power going out... but I couldn't make any coffee from 6 am until after 7. :bang:

We're hovering around 68 here. I was almost tempted to get the bike out.

Hit the same here but then it's dropping like a stone overnight into the lower 30's, then it's going to stay in the mid to upper 30's. Had two solid days of rain to wash the crud off the road. It's set to clear up and dry out the next couple of days. You better bet I'm going to be wanting to ride. 38 and partly cloudy might be too much to resist! :rag:

BatMan no coffee? Scary thought. I used to have that common sign in my kitchen that read, QUICK. BRING COFFEE. NO ONE GETS HURT. An addiction not to be taken lightly.

Just an old scooter tramp waiting for Spring. Sick of waiting and it’s only Feb. At 7AM it is already 61 degrees. Streets are filthy but time waits for no one. Tick fucking tock. I’m going for a ride in the rain. Hose The King down real good when I get home.

The forecast in NYC is for over 70 today. You better believe I am taking a half day and going for a ride. I hope my baby wakes up from hibernation and is ready to go. I cant wait any longer. Feels like Xmas morning! :putput:

And here I am contemplating how big of a difference it is between 36 and 38 degrees when I'm deciding if I'm going to ride or drive.

Unreal. At 10AM was outback with my pups and The King and a cup of mud and no shirt soaking up the warmth and some vitamin D. Black clouds and wind made a sudden arrival and by noon it was very cold and raining. Oh well.

Rode last Thursday with temps close to 80*
Stopped at the Shaved Beaver for some fabulous tacos on Taco Thursday special. That spoiled me... Weather turned back to winter for a few more days. :-(

It's 37 and sunny here and if I didn't have to work I'd probably be outside in T-shirt right now. :lolfall:
