That's what I call hard core.

It's eight AM on this Tuesday morning. I just heard a Harley start up and drive off.

It's eleven and a half degrees outside.

I think I'll go back to bed.

He probably bought it in August as his only source of transportation giving no thought at all to what he would do in January. I wonder what he will do when 11 degrees sounds good?

Are you West of the International Date Line this morning?

Are you West of the International Date Line this morning?

I was beginning to think the same thing -- or - did I lose a day somewhere!!

[Catshooter]

Ha! It's not Tuesday, it's Monday. See, that's what can happen when you're retired.

I knew I was up too early. Eight o'clock in the morning for crying out loud!

i am retired too. but i still lost days when i was working. i always told them i went metric.

riding in to cold is not too bad if you have the clothes for it. i would rather ride and be cold then walk and be cold.

I ride in weather >38 degrees Fahrenheit and more or less dry. I don't have a windscreen or heater leathers either, but my commute is only 8 miles or so.

My hat's off (figuratively, it's too cold out to actually do it) to that guy if he's riding in 11 degrees.

I am retired too and have to think what day it is also.

Back in the day, I road year round, but it was much nicer Spring and Fall. I could put on enough to stay warm, but that helmet was an oven in Summer heat.

Heatwave, 3 degrees warmer than last hour.

[km101]

I'm not sure if that's hardcore, desperate, or just plain dumb, but I sure dont want to ride in weather like that!

Damn global warming. Proof it must be real and humans (only American) are causing it.

Just wait till he finds someone left their yard sprinklers on last nite.

[41 mag fan]

Bet he wouldn't be riding let alone starting up that bike if you'd of gotten the snowfall Minneapolis got.

[starmac]

It is all cool until he has to chain up. lol
I used to ride in some pretty nasty weather, and won't anymore. I will run the fourwheeler or snow machine in sub zero temps though, so I guess it is just in ones perspective. lol

[gwpercle]

I remember when I was young, foolish and my only form of transpotation was a motorcycle. Had a rain suit , an insulated jump suit, ski mittens and didn't think twice about riding any where in any weather. Of course back then winters weren't as cold and rain wasn't as wet as they are now.....or so it seems. Ah those were the days.

i couldn't get the mustang out of the driveway if i wanted to.
i can't imagine riding a bike.
the rocks and sand on the main roads alone would be enough to blast your face off.

[Olevern]

My bike's in the garage for the winter. When my testostarone levels started dropping, I gained a couple of points of I.Q.

[GRid.1569]

Gave up bikin' when I discovered cars have heaters..... Ahhh....

[rr2241tx]

I used to work with a guy who put knobbies with sheetmetal screws in the knobs on his Goldwing so he could ride to work when the roads were too slick for cars without chains. He could ride on ice most people couldn't walk on. I was good to go in the cold but as soon as there was snow and ice the motorcycle got a vacation. Down here in Texas, if it is even possible it might snow, school is cancelled for a week just in case.
