    Rode last week it was 27 degrees, this morning it was 15 and now the high for the day is 30.

    I'm in North Carolina not Michigan!!!! I'm not a happy camper at this point. Keep the damn jet stream up where it belongs!

    I can't imagine riding in FL from May through the end of September, except in the evening.

    The oppressive heat and humidity combo would make riding with ATGATT quite unpleasant.

    I'm basing that on the very few days we get with the temps in the low to mid 30 C range (88F-95F) with 50% RH. I know FL's RH can typically reach 80-90% along with 90+ F temps..

    No snow here in northern Italy. Maybe December January?

    Cool Sub Zero!

    Well sub zero most nights here now and not much better during the day. Roads have been salted a few times so my season is definitely over. Just need one good day so I can get my bike polished and looking nice for her winter sleep.

    Usually mine is out by the later part of March..But last year was one of the worst winters in Michigan history...We still had ice and snow covered roads in the rural areas until the end of April!!....

    Yes that's true, but once you've experienced the freedom from clothes there's no going back!!
