Just happened to look at the extended forecast for my area, and even though it's 62 degrees here now, I see that by Tuesday, it will be down into the 20's at night....BRRRRRRRRRRR.
:gulp:
 
Be sure to stock up on pellets! ;-)

Oooooooh...that's a GREAT idea.....I don' think I have enough. :grrr:

I wonder how many tons TSC has left of that last shipment?????
 
Yep. Big changes here too for next weeks forecast.
40's during the day, 20's by night.

Ditto for us...but I refuse to put the bike away for the winter. I expect I'll be able to ride later this year because when I get home they can prop my frozen body up in front of the pellet stove and defrost me easy peasy. :)
 
Lol DiggerJim!
I rode a few days ago @ 46 degrees
but I don't think I can do it below that.
Don't have the right clothing and don't
care to invest in any, plus I worry
about black ice. Last year I went for a
spin around the block at 20 degrees and
was glad to survive it.
Bike is always ready for those mid winter
60 degree days though.

I've got the right gear - heated grips, heated seat, heated jacket, full fairing and a RoadCrafter full suit...every morning this week I walked out & it's in the 30s and I say "I can ride today...but I don't have to" and climb into the car, turn the heated seat on and off I go. Then the afternoon is sunny & warm and I leave work thinking "I should have ridden in today". I'm such a wuss this year.

At least by the time I get out & about this weekend it'll be in the 40s and then I'll leave the car in the driveway.
