    Well, I didn't leave at 2:00 AM like you did but it was still 43 when I left. Here in my later years, I get cold easily so I did some shaking myself. Should have taken my heated gear but being mid-May I thought that was unnecessary. Glad you made it back to Florida OK.

    I was out and about in FredNeck on Saturday, just before it started getting cloudy and dark. Hit Rita's on W South St.

    A little knowledge is key

    You Florida boys just have to spend a year in Michigan and then you would be able to dress appropriately for cold weather. I left the house for my recall at 39 degrees, Heavy Cortech Denim motorcycle jacket, Neck Gator, leather chaps, heavy long cuff glove, Full face helmet and although I could tell it was cold outside I wasn't shaking in my boot. You just have to dress for stuff like that and that big old fairing in front of you will do the rest along with that 19 inch Bagger Shield. When it warms up you just put the heavy stuff in the saddlebags and roll on down the highway.

    Riding with all that gear on isn't as fun. Sort of like wearing a condom.
    I was shivering yesterday. Bring back the warm weather!
