brrr...
« on: September 30, 2010, 12:23:44 PM »
How do you guys do it?

I just ran out for some breakfast tacos and it's 60 degrees out...

I was cold! 

Granted I was wearing flip flops, shorts and a light jacket but still!

Stiff upper lip.

And don't let anyone tell you that you'll freeze your ass off. 

That won't be what freezes off....

High 50's here this morning.  Leather jacket, long pants, good socks and boots.  I was still cold considering a few days ago it was in the mid 90's.  Too much temperature change, too fast.  In the spring we will think high 50's is great riding weather.  I hope they get the battery operated gloves back in.  It will be that time all too soon.  :(

It's only going to get worse. I'll be putting my toy away in the next few weeks.

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body. But rather to skid in broadside , thoroughly used up , totally worn out and loudly proclaiming "WOW, what a ride!!"

Since we have little (if any) snow or ice most winters here in Nashville, and I have no car, I ride year-'round.

Bring it on!

Wait, 60 is cold, or you referring to the wind effect dropping the temperature? I'm kind of waiting for
cooler Fall weather. Being stuck in city traffic on a hot day bites.

NEVER!!

As long as she'll start - and she always has even when temps are in the single digits - I'll be riding.

good point - especially around the neck area.

And don't forget to make sure the scoot is warmed up before you head out!

Yeah, I didn't want to dissuade people from riding - but layers or not, it's gonna be chilly and you just have to deal with it.
