Never saw it that cold that I recall! At 7AM -1 here and was still going to ride to meet old coots. Got the two cats food ready and indoor/out door cat ran in as I with no jacket on took the total out door cats food and water out.Did not see her?Have to check on her later as she will not come in. Man even that two minute out side had me feeling bad awhile when back in. Felt sure one of old coots would be calling riding me for not riding in. May be most felt too cold for even a truck this AM if not a must do? :putput:

23* here at 5 am...it's a balmy 24* now...things are looking up...but I doubt very seriously I'll b riding today.. [emoji2]
There is absolutely no way I'd survive in those bitter conditions.....Just not made for that part of the country
Besides that I don't have enough cold weather gear for those temps :rag:

This is totally out of the ordinary for us. Normally we might see a 5 to 10 days below zero the entire winter, but not this early and not this cold.

Had hooked up my gloves a few weeks ago to see if still working. Went for a ride at 18degrees a few minutes ago and they felt good. Did not use the jacket and unless going 50 miles or more do not see using it this warm.

When it's this cold Cuban actually puts on his long sleeve shirt. The sweater doesn't come out until it's much colder but he didn't want to make you guys feel bad.

Because if you say you "buttoned them up" people would think you'd lost your mind.

Have never owned a car or truck that the windows do not roll up and down with a crank. My truck still has the dimmer in the floor and the wind shield cranks out. Bunch of rich spoiled kids you all are.Image Had this truck and this motorcycle since 1977 .Drove the truck yesterday at 18 degrees.I did ROLL the windows up and Roll the windshield back in. You people just buy stuff too often! :evil:
