im thinking mine is about 45 degrees after that with all the extra clothes i would have to wear i feel i should be on a snowmobile. ha ha
I feel like such a wimp. It was 50F this morning so I drove my car to work (and, of course, I am looking out now and it's gorgeous outside)..

Oh dude - for shame.I feel like such a wimp. It was 50F this morning so I took my car in (and, of course, I am looking out now and it's gorgeous outside)..
When it drops to 40 or so around here it means it freezes at night and stays frozen on the bridges and in the shadows for a long time. I don't risk it in those conditions. Each day in the winter is a hard and personal choice when friends call up to go riding. I've been lucky so far. Almost any where I ride is uphill and it doesn't take long to get to the snow. It's really nice summer riding.

I might been little off on my temp post.... because most rides i went on in the last 2 or 3 weeks the temp was in the low to mid 50.
but now looks like there will be more 40 degree days then 50 so i will see how it goes and post back.
im loooking to get out 2 or 3 times a month so the storage will be less of a issue.
or no storage at all !!!

The fog here is bad near the beach and I hate to ride on the slick streets all covered in wet. It doesn't rain enough to wash down the streets so that wet surface is like oiled water on glass.The other thing that messes me up is the fogging of my glasses and visor. It gets pretty hard to see where you are going at times. After 20 mph or so it clears usually but sitting at a light I can't see a thing.
What do you all do about a fogging visor or glasses?

Pinlock on my hjc hellion, had just a few troubles when still kinda breathing hard from pulling the bike out of the shed but mostly stays clear.
on a sub-freezing morning i will open the shield at a stop light to keep my glasses clear

I think I can make it until snow hits the ground. I thought about not riding into work last week when it was supposed to be hit the high thirties the next day....... but then gas hit $3.05 per gal so I put my thermal liner in, wore a long sleeve shirt under my jacket, and hit the road.
