- November 12, 2013, 18:50:47 PMWe had about 2 inches and still have most of it. It was 18F this morning, a bit CHILLY. Barring an Indian summer, I'm done - of course now there's salt and brine all over the road.

- November 11, 2013, 10:05:40 AMNo riding in these parts going on for me . With the cold weather hanging around as well as wind just no fun to ride . I ride more for enjoyment then transportation reasons . To me riding with sub zero gear is meant for woods riding , now that's fun 
One of these days when time allows I'll get my last ride in though picking the scoot up from the shop to give her the winter cleaning and added mods ideas 
For all those still riding enjoy and be safe .

- November 11, 2013, 09:52:32 AMI've gotten a few rides in lately. It snowed the other day and the weather people were talking like it wasn't going to warm back up. Had one day that would have been nice except for the wind. It was blowing 34 mph gusting 50 mph. It's always windy here, especially during storms where it can gust over 70 mph, but that was pretty crazy for a warmer sunny day. Now they're calling for it to get colder and stay that way. See if they're correct this time.

- November 10, 2013, 05:12:49 AMWell, I probably got the last decent ride in yesterday. It got up to 60F, so the wife and I headed out for the afternoon. The weather guesser is calling for up to 1/4" of snow Tuesday.

- November 09, 2013, 22:08:49 PMTroll, that's a great pic with the bridge- I like it.
It was chilly here today, I think it got as warm as 54, but really windy. I had too many chores to do, and had to get them done so I could go this evening to see Dad in the hospital. When I was in town for a couple things, (in the truck) I saw about 20 bikes, though, gathered at the restaurant- they were just leaving when I pulled through. I was told at the hardware store that there were about 70 just before that. COLD day for a ride like that with that much wind.....
I hate seeing that white stuff in those pics.... Just keep it up there for a few more weeks if you don't mind! It's supposed to get in the teens (F) next week. bah humbug.

- November 09, 2013, 13:55:56 PM45 degrees. Windy, cloudy, nasty, but no snow...yet. Here's a couple of views of our Mississippi bridges you don't often see. I'm taking every chance I can get to ride. They are saying mid 20's over night, and a Monday high of 31....

- November 05, 2013, 08:47:45 AMThe thermometer said 51 degrees this morning, so I rode to work. Did not pay attention to the weather forecast. Just looked at the radar, might get a little damp on the way home...

Salt...only good think is it brings the moose to the highway so you don't have to walk far anymore......Saw a hero today on his big bad a$$ H-D and he had a neoprene face cover and all the gear riding around town, and best part is there were frozen puddles on the road........even PC would not be riding on a day like today......other then to mess with us northerners

- November 04, 2013, 07:58:38 AMThey salt our roads here in the upper mid-west, too. That's one of the reasons it's called the Rust Belt. Sometimes it's just salt pellets dumped out the back of a truck, and sometimes it's salt water brine sprayed all over everything that's near the truck...Spring is probably the hardest time to judge, since the salt left over from winter is just waiting on the road to mess up your bike...

- November 04, 2013, 04:26:26 AMI have my limit at 41 degrees F. Below that, it just becomes too dangerous to ride with humidity and rain threaten to turning the roads into an ice rink.
On top of that, they salt the roads here in Sweden when it goes ner freezing temps and the potential damage to bike and frame is just too big.
If it weren't for this, I could ride all year round...
