Until you try to ride some curves. Then.... Yeah...
we may not have the mountain roads but we do have some decent flat curvy roads around here. I like to ride around the curves myself and I've found a few decent roads for it. I just need to keep looking for some more.... lol.

Well today was a mistake. Saw sunshine... pleasant ride to the parents place.
Had to scrape ice off of the seat to head back.
Few back end shimmies on black ice and my hands... 2 miles in I couldn't feel them anymore, 40 miles later I was beginning to find it difficult to maintain throttle position as my entire hand and wrist had started going numb.
Made it another 10 miles home and knelt beside the bike holding the engine, actually more like hugging the engine with my hands for 15 minutes until it hurt too bad from defrosting to hold on and then jammed my finger in my brake disc trying to put on a disk lock.
I got home about an hour ago and im still in pain.
Winter is a bastard.
Outside thermometer is showing -5c so guessing its 20 something farenheit?

Yikes! Glad you made it home safe. That's pretty dangerous.
no kidding, that's just not a good situation at all. I would have just gone slower, sounds like you should have taken some thicker gloves or left some on the bike. I have some serious ones that I just found in the back of my closet. I forgot that I even owned them, they are from my time in the military where we were in sub zero temps all the time. They are pretty new as well, I had to have them replaced not long before I left that base and then never used them again...

winter keeps foolin us here.... it gets down to the 20's then warms up to 55 and rains one day out of each week lol... it doesn't make any sense....at this point id rather have the snow....or something..... hasn't been much of a winter.... just been random weather its like one week its 20-30 degrees the next weeks its 50-65 degrees... granted that would be great if i had my bike by now...
