winter ride
I managed to get out today in upstate NY. temps hit 35 degrees and I decided to give it a try. only around 15 miles but better than sitting on the couch. had a great ride, anyone else?

Re: winter ride
Yes indeed!
Took out the XMax.
Only about 20 miles but just local . . ..
Very windy. My "ICE" Warning went on again so I know it dropped to 38 F.
I saw one other Harley rider. Nice machine . . . full bagger.
Thought about bringing the camera but just too windy.
Yesterday I had a ride in the mist on my Zuma. Had to cut that one short. Too much traffic and spray back. But I did ride.

Happy New Year to you too Mel . . ..I went house hunting, again, all day., sun up to sun set. Happy New Year.

Hope you and your wife find a nice place near some good riding roads or at least in an area where you can relax.

I remember you saying something about the busy traffic lately.

Re: winter ride
I'll drink to that...........some hot tea or cocoa [after the ride] Here is an ebay link to something I place much more worth than their cost.
Have had heated grips, snow mobile gloves..........nothing has worked as well for me as these muffs in conjunction with decent gloves.
Along with insulated boots.......has really increased comfort in the cold stuff. Appearance might be an issue for "some" Comfort more than
makes up for it. Only thing better...........move to southern parts!

Re: winter ride
Over here the temperatures are quit warm for the time of the year but still - I like my heated gloves! I commute everyday 25km back and forth, unless there is heavy snow or ice which was not cleared by salt or other drivers (only happens maybe 2 times a year).
As it is my only means of transportation I simply have a full battle dress with removeable liners (2 layers) which is nice because this means I can wear it all seasons. My work is now located in a low emission zone (LEZ) and my climate friendly diesel car (EURO4 norm) - i.e. less co2 but more fine particles - is no longer allowed. Luckily the PCX has a EURO3 rating and for petrol based vehicles the rules are much less stringent so I am still allowed with it in the LEZ. So again Hoooray for the PCX
