BEAUTIFUL day today on the Colorado front range. 60 degress and clear blue skies with no wind. I got in 52 miles but kept it under 110mph.

I feel bad for you non-mountain guys that don't get to ride in the middle of winter

Spent the day digging out from another 7 inches of snow last night...

If we get another sizable snowfall, I'm not sure where we'd put it, as the piles on both sides of the driveway are almost 6 feet tall.

What??? In this horrible 60+ degree, sun shining partly cloudy day?

jk, it would of been a great day for a ride here, not very windy either. Been in the garage enjoying it and working on the bike.

You guys make me sick!

60..65......70 degree weather in January?

Just 2 days ago it was -20F and for all of next week it's not going above 28F. Did I ever mention that I HATE winter? Well I do, in case you missed that.

Now, now, Steve. It makes us appreciate summer.

Yeah, it's like that in Boston too, thankfully I've got a project going to keep me sane between shovelling! I went out and shovelled about 8 inches this morning, and then shovelled about 4 inches in the afternoon....my right eye is beginning to twitch.

coyotecowboy · « **Reply #16 on:** January 18, 2009, 06:19:07 PM »

Rode yesterday and today, about a tankful (100 miles or so) Improved my mood quite a bit!!!

So. Kansas here, had snow and single digits a few days ago

55 degrees at a quarter after 8 in the middle of Jan.

Too wierd.

medic09 · « **Reply #17 on:** January 18, 2009, 09:57:56 PM »

Wow, Jerry, you all had warmer temps than we had down here! Still, we were out on the Sprint for a quick ride and grocery shopping; then got the Hondas out to give 'em a turn.

Supposed to ride down to Albuquerque to pick up the wife's new ride on Friday, but I see sub-freezing temps and possible snow in the forecast. Haven't had the heart to tell her yet.

Retro Rocket · « **Reply #18 on:** January 18, 2009, 10:05:27 PM »

Ok time for a brag here...

60 Fahrenheit is about the coldest temp we get in winter in Brisbane.....All year round riding over here...

It was only 30 degrees celcius here today so beer was evapourating in the can.

I finally got out and about on my CB650PZ and scared the population,.......did I enjoy my 40 miles today...um?

I learned something new today (I try to do that daily as I'm over 50 now) the lining of my armoured riding jacket can be zipped out, of course I did not discover that until I was ringing wet with sweat!

Yeah Sean, 2 days of this terrible #$%*ty Rocky Mountain weather AND 3 MORE DAYS TO GO. Thanks for the air mail. I guess the 20% humidity and no wind helps too

This Rocky Mountain weather really sucks, especially in the winter. It could only be better if we were in a southern hemisphere summer but then it would be too hot with WAY too much humidity.

Thanks for the motivation post Jerry. Was working in the garage most of the day "with wood stove on" and saw this thread come up and thought .......what the hell.

Took the 350 out for a blast. Cold, but fun

tonycb650 · « **Reply #22 on:** January 19, 2009, 04:45:44 AM »

If i had that awsome new '' man cave" youhave seaweb, it would be hard to get me out into the cold also!

Kevin D · « **Reply #23 on:** January 19, 2009, 05:15:25 AM »

Its getting difficult to even imagine that I really do like to ride my CB around here.

On the other hand, taking a walk in a snowstorm is wonderful.
