Merry Bike Christmas to you too Grumpy! What no snow? I went out for my annual Christmas Day ride about an hour ago. Temps in the 50's, wearing gloves and liner in my mesh jacket. Perfect! Bike likes the cool air and the Kerker sounded great in the fading daylight and cool crisp air.

Colder than a Siberian witches titty up here in Phlean Ca. Going to get down into the low 20-30's tonight. High 40's to low 50's today. Gotta leave midday to go over the mountains then down into SB, then on to the low desert where it should be in the tolerable 60's and it isn't even cold yet. February is our coldest month. I think I'll put on my face shield and cold riding gloves. Got my 69 Ford F 250 ready to go. I may need her.
Could snow here but it looks like the storm is holding off.
Merry Christmas to all you cold riders out there and the ones that can't ride.
Steve and family.

Hey Grumpy and all, Happy Holidays!
Took my KZ and other bikes out for short spins this past weekend. It was in the 30s Farenheit. My 650 is a cold starter. Once going it is a true pleasure to ride. Thinking of going to Bloomington, IL and take in some World Championship Ice Racing this coming weekend. Stay warm and ride hungry my friends.
