Just sick and thinking
 

Well since moving down here near my grandchildren it has become apparent that the little snot-nosed kids are going to make me sick. You see I'm 51 years old now and I have abused my body severely but I was blessed with good genes which is one of the injustices of the world but I'm not going to complain anyway tomorrow it's going to be warm and I'm missing a spoke and something does not feel right but I'm going to ride I'm not going to go far I'm going to ride and I suggest that if you have the opportunity you ride as well good night my friends

I never miss an opportunity to ride... although at 75 my limits have changed from when I was in my 20's to 40's. Used to be in the winter I'd ride the 35 miles to work as long as there was less than half an inch of snow on the roads. Now anything under 55 degrees is too cold. But I are wary of riding when sick because of the slower reflexes, the lesser focus, and it's hard to see with snot on the face shield.

I hear you bikenut, me too. Will be riding today,and until it get below 45 degees. Love my bike just getting to old,Thinking a side by side is next,had one a china made one and it was nothing but problems. Thinkinking Can Am,but so much money.

42 degrees this morning. Too dark to see if it’s been raining overnight - $2 says it has. But my morning is free so I’m going to go have coffee with another Triumph buddy before getting to setting up that new work bench and avoiding phone calls.

It was really nice yesterday, so out I went. I think I will start the winter prep on the Ural this afternoon; muffs, remove the sidecar windshield and fit the tonneau, break out the winter helmet.

I've been riding to work all week. Temps in the mid 20's on my way in, mid 40's - 60 for the ride home. Good thing it's a short ride.

Just like skateboarding, to hell with a riding season, I'll ride when I want! Just gotta layer up.

Yup. And, I have a pair of full mitten padded sparring gloves that abolutely isolate my fingers from oncoming cold air. No kidding. :hi:

They look stupid, but I have gotten big nods at intersections from drivers in the next car. I use to use them for the gates when I did downhill slalom, decades ago for cryin out loud! :lmao:

I'm using these when it's cold. Tough to beat for $10. They're stupid warm.

That link to me to "superoffersDOTcom". wtf?

I searched the description and found them. They look OK, but I will stick with my goofy sparring gloves. When that's not enough I park it!

Greatest thing since sliced bread.

I dunno what happened there. Trying to fix it.
