I assume you mean <20° (less than 20°).

I did change the blinker fluid as well as rotating the blinker light bulbs to even out the wear but I knew I was forgetting something.

Um, does your attending nurse know you have access to the outside world?
I took my MSF course in December of '98! It wasn't even chilly, but then again, it was on the coast of Mississippi.

Dang! After bragging about living in Florida and never having to winterize my bike, we have a cold front moving through tonight!

It looks like no more riding for me for awhile. The high tomorrow is only supposed to be 73 F! Brr!!!

Oh well. I'll go look for some of the winterization threads...

Wheeew, brrrrrr, will have to break out the heavy leathers to stay warm in the 73 degree high. Might have to put the liner in my JR Reactor jacket for the ride to the gym at 5 am and then on to work at 6:30.

Gotta love this "Cold" Florida weather!

i am still riding as long as its not raining. the cold doesn't really bother me, and as long as i warm up the tires enough, i can still push it and have fun a little. i look forward to my annual snowfall rides every year.

On the canadian border here. It's been 20, 30 degrees every morning. If it's gonna me a dry day, I ride the bike. No need for caffiene since the windchill definitely wakes you up. So long as it isn;t snowing or raining I'm ridin

Would have rode to work this morning, but I had to actually wear a suit today. After lunch I'll go home and change to more comfortable clothing, park the Rodeo and ride back to work.

The weather here in Tennessee is getting a little nippy, but still good Saturday/Sunday riding. Since I have been here (2 years), I have yet the need to store the bikes. As long as it does not snow, I'll ride them around for about an hour or two.

Tonight it was perfect for just an Old Navy fleece and gloves. Light wind and cloudless night.
