Riding to the dealership yesterday to get the last of my $1,000 worth of toys, it was 46. Last Saturday when I headed down the I-25 to Denver, I think it was 43. As I've said elsewhere, I'm really a minimal shield guy -- was sad that the stock shield didn't do it for me. But now I'm thinking I might have to get a "winter" shield if I'm going to continue riding instead of putting the bike away as I normally do.
Rode around the block today, I'm on call with work, so cant go far.
Getting cooler down here, when I left it was 69*, when I got home it was 70*. Brrrrrrrr :th_sunbathe::poke: :icon_lol:
55° here in the frozen tundra of Marion County.
I hate cold weather. :no::icon_frown:

Does sitting on it in the warm garage count?
+1C (34F) with a northwest wind blowing at 40 kph (25 mph), so I didn't quite feel like going for a ride at 8 am.
Right now it's a balmy 6C (42F) with the wind now blowing at 50 kph (30 mph). Still unmotivated to ride, even if I do own an F6B.
93 deg at my place 10/4/14 on the Central Coast of Calif. with 103 at the county seat of San Luis Obispo 12 miles north of me.
93º here. Little toasty.
Rode for 2 hrs, temp low 50's....grip heaters and an adjustable electronic windscreen rock!
93 degrees this morning in the Inland Empire of SoCal
Rode from Winston-Salem NC to Roanoke Va at 7:00 am this morning. It was 39 F in the valleys. The Sun finally warmed the Blue Ridge Parkway up to the upper 50s around midday.
31 degrees, later warmed to 39. Aerostich Roadcrafter suit, Schuberth C3 helmet, heavy gauntlet gloves and combat touring boots. I'm getting old so it is too cold. Forty years ago with crappy clothes I wouldn't have cared but I can't hack it for long nowdays. Bike liked it, purred like kitten inhaling that nice cold air.
41 this morning.....got all the way to 60. Then it got windy.
58 degrees on ride to Santa Cruz this morning. By the time I got home it was pushing 88 .

Low 70-ish....getting the no jacket riding days in while I can.
Just returned from a solo trip from last Sunday to this past Friday, rode from Boerne, TX. to KnoxVille, TN. Then while there rode two days on the Blue Ridge Parkway, The Tail Of The Dragon, The Cherohala Skyway, Moonshiner 28, 500 miles in two days. Great rides all. Weather was Beautiful until Thurs when the high and low met in Brinkley Arkansas, and I got caught in a tornado, had to seek shelter under a bridge, I did not think the bike would survive, but it did, completely untouched. Got a room for the night and got back to home, 20 miles west of San Antonio, TX on late Friday. The weather was hot, wet, dry, cold, windy, windier, and driving rain as I went from state to state. Bike was absolutely fantastic.Got her all cleaned up today, she sure was a mess at trips end. Met some other F6B's in the Smoky Mtn's. A Red and a Black

27C- (81F) here in Melbourne yesterday. Great riding weather. Summer's on it's way. It won't be long before we are in the high 30's to mid 40's (100F-115F) :th_sunbathe:
Great riding weather in central Florida......
Sunny and 80 degrees in Jerome, AZ today.

Left the house at 7:30 this fine Sunday morning to the temperature of 76 degrees (Southern California).
It was 84 when I left the meeting.
Went to play, and it quickly got up to 104. When I left to come home, I had a wet vest on, and a cooler neck thing. Made it 3/4 the way home before the vest was DRY.
Arid country = dry heat. So 104 was bearable when moving. Not so much at a light. HOWEVER, the water cooled F6B beats ANY machine that isn't on a day like today!!
33c = 91.4f South Coast of NSW
Great three day ride out
Me and the wife went out for a little cruise up the hiway and it was 52 degrees. It takes me a few days to get used to the colder weather so the ride didn't last very long. But the bike won't get parked till its 40 or lower. Man I'm dreading the up coming months lol!!
Went to the beach yesterday....80* ...am I glad winter is coming!!!!!
Between 93* and 99* yesterday on my trip across I-10 from Indio to Phoenix. Better than the last time I went through there in May.
10 C or 50F
Bike is in the shop for the 4K mile service and I was down in Big Bend this past weekend racing my Mustang so couldn't ride anyway. Temps were in the mid 80s to low 90s all weekend. Temps are in the 80s this week in Houston. No real winters to speak of down in these parts. .batman-smilie.
My wife and I "went out for lunch" and did 100 miles of back roads. 77-87 degrees depending on elevation and sunny!- including Banks, Vernonia and Scappose.
;sunny;
Steve in OR
I usually ride till they start using salt up here in the northeastern US ... Then its just dirt bikes and quads .
This is the first year owning a F6B and I have the deluxe so we will see how the heated grips work compared to the Hotgrips I put on my quads .
Upper 60's here at lunchtime. Met some musician buddies for lunch and took the long and curvy way home 'all/right'.
4C. here with a strong NW wind. Bundled up and went for a spin. I'll go till it snows. :yikes:
75f this morning on the way to work here in So Cal. Probably around 90f when I leave at 5pm tonight.
Picked up a very breezy Dainese mesh jacket, lightly used at a motorcycle gear consignment shop, yellowdevilgear.com yesterday.
Should make the ride home more comfortable vs. the lightweight leather jacket I've been wearing lately.
81F @ 1:30pm
While riding the twisting roads of this Sunday it was 72 beautiful degrees.
Guys, I have to tell you, I'm in heaven here in mid TN. After living in the flat lands of Texas for the last 34 years. This state has beautiful rolling hills farm roads with smooth asphalt, in every direction.
So happy to be on the road again!
44F and dark for the trip downtown this morning and 66F and dark on the way home. The upside is that there are almost no bugs - less time needed for clean-up.
