Took the long way around and did maybe 40 miles. Just wearing the mesh jacket but just got home and heck I'm a bit sweaty. I was going to go get a haircut but maybe I'll wait till next week cause I don't feel like showering right now. Guess it's lunch time then. Bon apetit!!

It is currently 65 degrees in northern Kentucky.....and the wind is go gusty that it blew a large wooden commercial real estate sign in front of our office out of the ground - it was mounted on three 4x4 posts that were only a foot in the ground. The sign has been there for about 2 years.

I really don't think it would be possible to ride a motorcycle safely as strong as gusty and strong as the wind is right now.

At 30 degrees, I was nice and toasty on the 2 mile commute. Thinkin maybe I'll take the long way home after work. It's supposed to hit 50 this afternoon.

It was actually quite gusty here also, said gusts to 17 mph. Oh and it actually hit 86 f just a while ago.

I have to agree that 1 or 2 miles is not a commute. You need 20+ miles before you can call it a commute. I rode 25 this morning for a toy run, with the temp just approaching 50 which is not bad but the wind was from the NW at 30-40 mph. Riding North at 65 with a headwind of 30-40 is approaching a 100mph wind, and the windchill from that that gets pretty darn low. Coming back 2 hours later with the temp at 55 and having a tail wind made it needful to zip the jacket down to mid chest..
All in all it was a pretty nice riding day considering the wind speed.

Low 70's this morning, 80 in the afternoon. Rode some errands this morning, and a loooong way home, 60 miles. 40 miles to the range this afternoon, and 67 miles home. Partly cloudy, calm and a great day to break in a new rear tire. Left the bottle of Redline in a empty saddlebag and it was all shook-up by the time I got home to change the oil. LIFE IS GOOD IN FLORIDA IN NOVEMBER!

I was being cynical. Wink

My parents invited me over to dinner tonight after work. 60 miles across the desert at 70mph at 48 degrees in the dark.....This ought to be fun! Grin

(more cynicism)

Definitely not a good day to be riding the back roads!
