The cold weather is getting to Mike...

Good grief, this weather is killing me. Every time I have time to ride, it is either too cold or raining. I'm sitting here in the office and looking out at a beautiful, yet cool day. I need to hear the groan of my Triumph triple...

Fred recalls a cold ride from the past...

Mike, I remember when I was kid and had to walk through the snow to school, barefoot. Oops, wrong story. I remember once in the 80's when I was riding a Suzuki GS1100E - and commuting on it - when the temp that morning was 18deg F. And in THOSE days I had not wised up ..... I rode in street pants for gosh sakes instead of armored clothing. Not even wool street pants. I figured that since the ride was only ten miles (20 minutes, some in urban areas) I could manage. I have never been colder in my life than when I pulled into the parking lot that morning. The fronts of my thighs had lost feeling. But what a memorable ride! My point - get out there in this cold and do at least a short ride somewhere. You will be surprised how refreshing it can be.
