There are a LOT tougher riders than me out there.

In my experience though, middle day sunshine makes all the difference in being cold or not. 60 degrees in early afternoon with no clouds is quite comfy. 60 on the top or bottom of the day can get cold quickly. The same with a cloudy or even partially cloudy day.

Same here. 60* is about my bottom end. If it's not fun I just stay home.

Agreed. Been there done that, in the 30's and 40's. Just cause you can doesn't mean it's worth the trouble. Certainly not fun.

Years back, when the current bike was new to me, I made a couple rides up to shoot Friday Night Steel, an hour away. Nice ride up, early AM Saturday ride home was 43 degrees. Had to stop and thaw at least once. Not fun...

Meet Alan Kempster, the “Half man” who lived his life on full throttle. Alan was a born racer, but soon after getting his racing license, Alan met with an accident at a young age of 20. He was hit by a drunk lorry driver that cost Alan his two limbs. And then started his second life, his real struggle of recovering from the accident that changed the entire course of his life. Alan went through a number of recovery operations, and pain, he struggled to do even the basic day to day activities. But nothing broke his will. Maybe his body was fragile, but not his spirit. The Aussie took up water skiing and represented his country in 5 World Championships out of which he won 3.

Tribute to Alan Kempster - The “Half man” who lived his life on full throttle

"When the organizers ask me if I'm scared to break an arm or a leg, I tell them that there's 50% less chance of me doing so compared to everyone else” -Alan Kempster.

My wife and I can relate to the low speed uhh "challenges" of the ADV bikes. We came from a V-Rod and a Sportster respectively and we both say that most of our drops on the V-Stroms are gonna be low speed stuff like her's.

These "snow bikes"..... you never actually see people riding them. Went to a bike show recently. I was amazed how many bikes were actually non-functional. That should be an immediate DQ.

These days it's rarer and rarer to see women worth looking at on the back of a bike.

Even moreso when your ride sounds like a Berry Manilow song. You want a looker on the back, make sure your ride sounds like a Steppenwolf song...
