Temperature was in the low 30's, it was sunny and no snow on the road. Had to take her off the tender and let her out for a spin.

I hated not being able to ride since it has been snowing a bit and the roads haven't been clear. Have another snow front coming and the temp is going to drop to zero in the next day or so...

Here she is enjoying the sun:

that bike is extremely clean! I've been debating going out for a cold ride too. I saw someone on a bike yesterday, and heard one earlier in the morning too, even though it couldn't have been more than 30, maybe 35 tops. More than anything else I don't feel like dealing with the salt. I could always take out the gs500 though, that bike needs a full going over before spring anyway, so it wouldn't be bad to clean it up when I was done.
 
Ooooh ****, I just checked the weather and it's going to be 47 on Friday! I've got the whole day off, I think I might have to go for a ride. That might be warm enough to convince me to take out the XB after all.
 
Thats warm??? LOL its 40-50 down here in miami and I wont touch the thing! Even without snow!

us tropical people....
 
41 yesterday and I rode 90 miles on the highway.

It's a bit warmer today, but it's also damp out right now and the wind is blowing pretty hard. I might actually work today instead of screwing off and going riding.
 
Wish I could spent the last 2 days shoveling about 3 feet of snow I hate winter[mad]
 
I did freeze my finger tips. Worth it though. Been thinking of investing in grip heaters.

I've only seen a couple of people out so far. Have a line on an Roadcrafters Aerostich riding suit (used) for $250... Waiting on pics, but seems like a good deal.

I hate winter.
 
Glad you got the chance! I won't take mine out until it rain a couple of times in the spring. Here in NY they put that salt everywhere and it will ruin (rust) everything. I wish they would use sand!
 
Yeah that's half the reason I'm hesitant to take it out. I'm hoping maybe it'll rain tomorrow. Otherwise I'll just take out the gs500
