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

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!!
