Fifty Seven
57! Degrees! Gonna reach that here in about an hour and then just flat line at that temp until 9AM tomorrow at which time it will climb into upper 60’s! Unreal! It’s raining but still lots of salt and sand on the roads so I have to resist the temptation to ride. Won’t put my iron through that corrosive filth. Patience indeed a virtue.

Signifying monkey, stay up in your tree. Always lying and signifying, but you better not monkey with me.

Yes,sir. Our warmth will be short lived until what you experience now arrives here in two days.JFL Live wrote:Our power went out for an hour this morning because of an ice storm...

Wind bad but records may be broken with 80 called for today ! All ready rode over 100 most with five friends. Got off the flat four lane and in to curves and lower road and much better second half.

Normally I wouldn't give a rats @ss about the power going out... but I couldn't make any coffee from 6 am until after 7.
Might have to invest in a Sterno Stove. [emoji2]

We're hovering around 68 here. I was almost tempted to get the bike out.

Re: Fifty Seven
Hit the same here but then it's dropping like a stone overnight into the lower 30's, then it's going to stay in the mid to upper 30's. Had two solid days of rain to wash the crud off the road. It's set to clear up and dry out the next couple of days. You better bet I'm going to be wanting to ride. 38 and partly cloudy might be too much to resist!RoadKing wrote:57! Degrees!

Some of my best stupidity is largely self-inflicted.

Re: Fifty Seven
BatMan no coffee? Scary thought. I used to have that common sign in my kitchen that read, QUICK. BRING COFFEE. NO ONE GETS HURT.

Re: Fifty Seven
Just an old scooter tramp waiting for Spring. Sick of waiting and it’s only Feb. At 7AM it is already 61 degrees. Streets are filthy but time waits for no one. Tick fucking tock. I’m going for a ride in the rain. Hose The King down real good when I get home.

Re: Fifty Seven
The forecast in NYC is for over 70 today. You better believe I am taking a half day and going for a ride. I hope my baby wakes up from hibernation and is ready to go. I cant wait any longer. Feels like Xmas morning!

Re: Fifty Seven
And here I am contemplating how big of a difference it is between 36 and 38 degrees when I'm deciding if I'm going to ride or drive.

Re: Fifty Seven
Unreal. At 10AM was outback with my pups and The King and a cup of mud and no shirt soaking up the warmth and some vitamin D. Black clouds and wind made a sudden arrival and by noon it was very cold and raining. Oh well.

Re: Fifty Seven
Rode last Thursday with temps close to 80*
Stopped at the Shaved Beaver for some fabulous tacos on Taco Thursday special. That spoiled me... Weather turned back to winter for a few more days.
