WV Invigoration
My wifes car is in the shop and believe it or not, she is driving my car. What a great excuse to unplug the battery tender, throw on a couple of layers of WARM clothing, crank up the grip warmers, and head off to work. It was a balmy 28 degrees when I left home, but what a wonderful experience - hope her car is gone for a few days while the weather remains dry. Anyone else ride in cold weather?

I don't, but apparently many people do. Kudos to you, sir!

Yup, as long as the roads are dry (even sometimes not) we're usually on them
Same here for this morning, 28F on the ryde in, and like you said .... Invigorating
Just a suggestion, BajaRon (site sponsor) sells a FirstGear Thermo Riding Suit, that I (& many others) HIGHLY Recommend. We've had one since the winter of 2010 & ever since, have road all year long, barring those days that are just too dangerous due to Ice/Snow/Torrential Rains, but otherwise, if the suns a shine'n, its time to ryde
Here's a link to a review we did on the suit back in 2011 if you care to read- Post #10 on this thread:

As long as the roads are dry, I'll ride. I also recommend the Firstgear Thermo Suit. I bought one big enough to wear over my summer riding gear. My Spyder loves riding in the cold! I'm going on an all-day ryde this Saturday, up into Pennsylvania, through the Michaux State Forest.

But it sure is fun!!
Lots of hot cocoa after the ride...
Peppermint Patties (hot chocolate, peppermint schnapps, whipped cream topping, and a cherry)are even better.

I usually have a cup of coffee when I roll in the door at work, but not today - I was WIDE awake!

You're lucky... my commute is only about 30 feet!

It rarely gets to freezing levels down here, so if road is dry I'm on it! With such balmy weather a good windproof jacket, turn in the Baker air wings, good gloves & boots and turn on the heated grips are all I need!
