Took the beast out today for battery charging. The Beast is naked, no windscreen. I froze my face! I think I had better wear a full face helmet or put the bike to sleep for winter. Got a headache from that.

Gee, and it was high 70's and smokey today on my ride! Yeah, I love the Rockies, but living on the Monterey Bay does have it's good points!

Here in the great northeast Pa, where you can get all 4 seasons in a day, it’s been holding on to summer. I took the 850 down to Hershey for the weekend with rain in the forecast both days. Over 250 miles logged and never got a drop!!! The way down was cool and comfortable, maybe 65. The return trip was ungodly hot for my new leather and gloves , sunny and 81! I always use a full face helmet. Spent Sunday afternoon with my old ladies #1 son at Dukes, a great little bar and grill watching the Steelers win and the Ravens not! Eating everything in the place! Lol good day. He felt a little less joy being a Raven fan.79 XS11 Special (Lazarus)

The ground is white today. 28F this morning. Yesterday there was freezing fog in the morning. The XS11s are covered with a thin layer of snow. I am just waiting for the road to the shed to dry out so that I can put my babies to sleep for the winter.Originally posted by Bonz View PostSkids (Sid Hansen)

You can use that warm weather to ride as you probably need it.
