Title: The Norge stays in the garage this afternoon.
Post by: Gliderjohn on March 18, 2016, 12:47:43 PM

This is the heaviest snow we have had all winter. This picture was taken about thirty minutes ago. The flakes in the picture are quite a bit smaller than they had been a bit before. SC Kansas.

We hardly had a frost this year much less a snow.   It does look pretty.

I'd go for a ride, just for fun!

If that were Norway, they'd be riding, so why not take the Norge out...although a white one might be a hard to see in that snowstorm...maybe some bright green or orange vests would be a good idea.

Pretty sure you won't have to worry about feeling too much heat from the 8V banger...they make great hand warmers in this kind of weather!

I'm going for a ride tomorrow - I was going to go over to Death Valley, but at 90 it'll be too warm for March. So instead, I'm headed for the cool hills of southern Utah, where it will only be 70 or so. Here in Las Vegas, it should hit about 83.

Oh well, you can laugh at me in July!

Yes, it's bipolar this time of year.  The day before yesterday I had nice a 100-mi ride in the sunny mid-60's.  Tomorrow there's 6-14 inches of snow predicted.

Picking my bike up at Trophy Motorcycles this morning with a new tire on the rear - I'll be wearing long johns, it's in the low sixties.

In my opinion, that is the perfect riding temperature.

Must be from living through those hot Kansas summers all my life but I consider ideal riding temp range to be lower 70s through lower 80s. If it is low 60s, especially with clouds and I am going any distance I will have long undies on top and bottom, long sleeve turtle neck shirt, Jeans and my leather jacket with liner in. Oh and gloves with grip heaters on low to medium.
