Sun-N-Ice Ride
« on: November 30, 2015, 01:36:44 PM »
I took the new green Stelvio out for a ride in the Sunshine Saturday :bike-037:  It was colder than predicted, had frost on the ground & on shadow spots on the roadways.  Went out with my buddy Jim on his VStrom.  I had partial electrics but Jim went old skool wrapped up like a burrito boy.  My Stelvio has no heated grips  :weiner: Super sunny, super cold, super fun;  stopped every 30 minutes to thaw Jim out.   
Just wanted to get out and RIDE.

Glad you got out and rode!

I picked up my new Norge on Saturday from Moto international in Seattle and rode it down to Olympia. I was thankful for the heated grips!

This morning, I rode from Olympia to my office in Lake Oswego. The temperature ranged from 33 degrees to 39 degrees. Brrr!

Good on you and Jim for getting out. I felt like it was too frosty. Could see ice in all the shady spots all weekend. Warmer(and wetter) weather is coming.
Gail is working next Saturday, so I plan to ride to Enumclaw. See you then.
