I said the same thing last year when it snowed in Tucson.

tricker · 10-26-2007, 07:50 AM

36 degrees here.. feel the season is coming to an end for me.. gotta find storage for the bike soon cause i don't have a garage...

Beetz · 10-26-2007, 08:13 AM

Good morning all ... it's 32 friggen degrees here.

Bah!

There oughta be a law!

jgreth · 10-26-2007, 08:35 AM

Yo!

Just under 50 degrees here. I tried out the new balaclava I got and it works flawlessly. I was toasty warm even on the highway.

Windproof and waterproof.

Mavman · 10-27-2007, 06:43 AM

it's 40 degrees and not as much of a bitter chill in the air as yesterday's awakening....yippie!

JmalB · 10-29-2007, 04:55 AM

It was perfect riding weather this evening. But the warmth of my bed kept me under the covers until the last possible moment.

busa-boy33 · 10-29-2007, 06:19 AM

A chilli morning on the ride in but should warm up later today.. i think we are in the lower 50's here but it will wake you up when your riding in it..lol.. So good Monday morning everyone

buster · 10-29-2007, 06:33 AM

Happy Monday everyone...

about 45*F HOWFING DOON WI' RAIN, so it is a great day for waterproofs

Got in to three defects on the sim, fixed two the third bit needs a factory rebuild.. Almost at the end of this 'not so good' coffee.

Watched Gangs of New York (AGAIN!!) this weekend on my cool new 40" LCD TV it is just like being in the cinema.. awesome!

Watched The Ninth Gate last with Johnny Depp, pretty naff really.

Scotty, I am off to rant all over the post office today, as the 30 days are now well and truly up, (Tossers!) I am also organising a couple of replacements..

Have finished reading The Police Rider's Handbook To Better Motorcycling, some really good info right there, it is amazing to find you have been doing something wrong for 25 years! now matter how small, it makes a difference.

Am moving on to Proficient Motorcycling, then, More Proficient Motorcycling..

Every day is a school day!

Have a great week y'all

busa-boy33 · 10-29-2007, 06:38 AM

Well give'm a swift kick in the arse for me Buster... grrr! I hate when they lose things then act like its not their fault.. The Postal service has slacked the past few years..

themeatmanlandry · 10-29-2007, 06:48 AM

40 degrees and clear in Memphis.

We had a perfect weekend for riding, but I didn't get any done. The girl's been doing really well at potty training, so she and I went to Toys'R'Us Saturday morning and bought her an electric Corvette. We spent the weekend familiarizing her with it, charging the battery, and watching her drive.

She loves it, and nothing makes me feel better than seeing her so happy. So . . . no riding for Daddy this weekend, but that's okay. It has a real radio, turn signals, a horn, realistic car sounds and a cup holder. She puts her teddy bear in the passenger seat and a cup of coolaid in the cup holder. Ceeeee-uuuute!!!!!

At work, things are getting hairy for themeatman. Another engineer screwed up our biggest customer (the local gasoline refinery), so they took it from him and gave it to me. I have spent the last five years bringing my neglected customers (neglected before my time) up to date and now I have to give most of them away and take on the biggest project we have, which is unfinished to the nth degree. I have no idea why they think I should be the one to do it. Whatever. It all pays the same.

Good morning.

Watching that movie I always felt like I was missing a lot of important plot. I figured I go pick up the book but I always for get its name. And no it's not The Ninth Gate.

Smurf · 10-30-2007, 08:20 AM

Good morning everybody............

I don't know how cold it was this morning but I had frost on my windshield. Don't know what the temp is going to be today, and trying to decide if I want another cup of coffee.

Been this way all of last week and so far this week isn't any better..............

tricker · 10-30-2007, 08:53 AM

Mornin all.... Starting to get sick, didn't ride the bike in today even though its nice.. poor dog is getting fixed today so gotta pick up a drugged up fur ball today. But on a good note, got my coffee fix

Ext1jdh · 10-30-2007, 09:35 AM

Actually, a few less fur balls

Smurf · 10-30-2007, 11:18 AM

That would be "Furry Balls".

LOL

kay · 10-30-2007, 09:09 PM

It seems like you get much colder weather in the U.S. (well, definitely in Canada) even in the southern states.

Still about 60 degrees here unless it's raining. It was even slightly hot yesterday wearing a long sleeve shirt. So I just wear my leather or textile jacket (with protectors) when I ride and it's not that cold yet.

It's the coldest around Jan-Feb here.

Sipping my almost lunch coffee.

JmalB · 10-31-2007, 04:12 AM

Another work day with me being to lazy to drag my butt out of bed in time to ride.
