    My roadster and I have experienced driving rain (first time out), sleet, snow, and the freezing temperatures (23 degrees) that go with it.
    Dress in layers and hopefully some of those layers are leather.

    Pretty sure he’s alive but I don’t know if he’s made it home yet

    It was a great trip although super cold in the beginning. We ended up stopping and buying a bunch of hand warmers. Put them in our gloves and shoes, which helped a lot! Everything was going great until my buddy's chopper decided to shred its primary belt on the way home. Threw it in the back of a truck and cruised home in beautiful 60 degree weather

  4. I've had mine out in 26 degrees at night bombing down the highway, I had so many layers on I could hardly move, I believe your buddy on the bike had it worse off. I've had my bike out on a 38 degree morning, 45 minute ride at 60 mph, like your buddy no fairing or windshield to hide behind, my fingers were like a million pin pricks for about 2 hrs after I got to work.
    I can honestly say I will not do either of that shit ever again...ha ha ha

    I usually call it at about 35°. I'll buzz around town and mess around down in the 20's if there's no wind...

    Ha Ha! We were thinking about how to fit it in there but luckily a buddy stopped with a full size truck. I think the front tire could ride in the passenger seat with the rest of the bike in the back?
