It was around 50, but certainly manageable. :p:):p:)

However, you can all enjoy ryding this summer when it's 100 here in Alabama and my seat is melting.:mad:

...what it is, here in the Midwest. :gaah: My tolerance level grows shorter and shorter with each year of my age, especially now with a Spyder in the garage, with only 550 miles on it from last year (got it real late).:(

Nevertheless, Winter must be dealt with, so if you are going to live here (and not go nuts in the cold months) - you better have some other indoor hobbies lined up. I learned that a long time ago.... ;)

21 here in the Notthern Calif Sierra mountains.
A while back my son sent me a web site that showed a Spyder converted to a snow mobile. Expensive and complicated. Also saw one with just a sled like extended bumb skid.

Went out for a short ride yesterday. Temperature was 5*C (41*F) with snow on the ground but roadway clear and dry. It was a little cool, but a beautiful winter day for a ride. Heated grips set on low were very nice. It sure helps to make the winter shorter when you can break it up this way. I'm hoping to be able to get out again today.:bowdown:

I hear ya, even a short ride is better than no ride at all.

after riding on Thursday in purty cold temps, i'am done for a while! I ended up taking a pocket knife and cutting my new foam grip covers off so I could get more heat to my hands.

Well some of "us" hate winter. I've skied since I was in college ( My ex made the mistake of introducing the sport to me). Still do to this day --- at 68 yrs young. Mt. Rose -Ski Tahoe is just 11 miles up the road ( and 2,500 ft climb in elivation) so I'll often just ski a half day but often. I'm already sking free as the pass is zeroed out.


So find a fun winter activity/Hobby and enjoy life.

PS: Those mountains also cause the civil engineers to put curves in all the roads. You have to climb and turn often to get anywhere around here

After the wife heal from shoulder shoulder surgery (Jan 18). We are going to start getting this house ready to sale and head south to North Las Vegas with Highwayman and SpyderAnn. My wife has had both knees, both hips and 5 vertebrate in her lower back fused and now a shoulder. She has had enough of the cold! WE WANT TO RIDE!
