    I think my favorite weather to ride in....

    is 49 degrees, with a slight mist in the air, and with full heated gear on. That's what the ride was today and it was absolute bliss. The air smelled so clean, and it was brisk but I had a nice warmth from the heated gear. All atop one of the best bikes on the planet. I took the ride to Kent powersports in Selma, Texas for my first look at the new Wings. Mercy--that is a nice bike. I have no detailed sit-review, as that's already been very helpfully provided. However, I will say that the weight loss and slimmer feel is absolutely startling off the sidestand. Wow. Can't wait to crack the throttle. Dealer says I can test ride as soon as the precipitation disappears. However, going back outside and getting back on the B left me with absolutely zero disappointment. Quite the contrary, just added a little happiness at the thought of being part of such a great motorcycling tradition. What a great time to be alive.

    What's your favorite riding weather?

    I agree with riding in 40 to 50 degrees. Most comfortable weather to ride with full gear on.
    Also, the bike seems to breathe a little better.
    Can't wait to get some rain and wash the salt off the road and RIDE!!!!!

    I bet, Billism! I was so excited and refreshed from the ride that I wasn't really thinking about how many guys on this board are from northern locales where riding is still paused. I hope you get good weather soon!

    Got about 60 miles in yesterday in upstate NY it was @ 41 degrees. No heated gear but I was comfy. Still some ice i had to watch but very therapeutic!

    I like that picture of the dog. I think spring has started already here, grass is turning green, azaleas and camellias are blooming and the robins are everywhere. Of course with the warm weather you get lots of rain.
