51°F is a friggin heat wave Wimpademus! Just wait until TTT's sleepy
sun theory kicks in.
It was 45°F when I returned.
I guess it's warmed up a bit since then.
Awesome day, I should have brought the electrics with me, I would have
gotten another hour or more of riding in.

45? And you're COLD?
Damn! I'd kill for 45 degrees. I can comfortable ride for several hours
in 45 degrees, without heated gear.
Hell, I'd settle for 20F and no snow/ice on the streets. But it seems
Wisconsin is headed for a record year for snow. Almost every
municipality around here is out of salt now. >> Stay informed about: Wow, sunshine surely doesn't mean not cold. |

The wife and I were talking about that tonight. We're not going to vote
FOR him, but vote AGAINST Hillary.
Current Conditions here are:
7F and snowing... Again

I got out to vote for a "hope" for Change today, too. I'm guessing
'da Bama gonna get it by about 5-8% in WI today.
And thanks for mentioning the Inside Pass event June 10th, Steve. I

Yeah, got your email about the Demo days, and I'd be down BUT on the
21st I'm riding out to CO and UT for my bachelor party ride.
Just have to try the bikes at the track, instead!
Oh, and I think the Superbike weekend at RA is June 8th, the MOTO-ST
races got bumped to June 14th, which is when I'm getting married.

Woops, you're right, it's June 10th. June 8th is the Moto-ST races.
BTW, Hals in New Berlin has HD & Buell demo fleets there May 23rd &
24th. the wife and I will be doing lead/trail riding for it. If you want
to try an 1125R, get there EARLY! Last year we had 20 people waiting in
line for rides at 8:00AM. And that was BEFORE the 1125R. They will
unfortunately only have 2 1125Rs on the truck.
There is also an Inside Pass day at Blackhawk on July 4th. But that is
only for Buell riders(part of their 25th anniversary/homecoming event).
And it's only $99! >> Stay informed about: Wow, sunshine surely doesn't mean not cold. |

I don't even bother with the glove liners in 45 deg. I've been getting
my share of below 32 deg rides in. Luckily, the commute is generally
less than 30 minutes, so the fingers don't get too cold. I should really
look into heated grips, or gloves, or something.

I've got the Buell heated grip kit. And while my bike is sitting
literally 30 feet away from me at work, I've been far too lazy to
