Some of my best stupidity is largely self-inflicted.

Re: A new record!
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?

Besides that I don't have enough cold weather gear for those temps

Re: A new record!
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.Suzuki Johnny wrote: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]

Re: A new record!
Yep that's cold.
They say it's going to stick around through the weekend. The high here Friday is supposed to be a balmy 4.

Re: A new record!
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.

Re: A new record!
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.Cuban wrote:-21 eh? Time to put on a sweater. [emoji106]

Why do we still say that? We all do, but we haven't actually rolled the windows up and down for a long time.JFL Live wrote: I actually had to roll the windows up on the way to work...

Re: A new record!
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. 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!
