27 degrees the tv was reporting the temp to be at Drake Field. I was heading from Fayetteville, AR to Bentonville, AR to work. The grass was glistening with icy frost. I was going in an hour late (I rode in an hour early in pitch dark the day before as a favor to my opposite) so at least it was sunny. Man what a gorgeous 22 mile ride of 2 lane this morning. Sky was so blue and the air so clear I was glad I decided to brave the cold. My finger tips were hurting by the time I got to work, but I tucked the ole DR into a warm hangar and quickly the pain subsided. To my surprise I met a guy on a cruiser going the other way. See WindRiver I ain't no girlie man I don't even have a windshield or heated grips like the riders of the fancy boy bikes.
was that you that flew over my house at 11:40am this morning? If so, you were a bit north of me here, by maybe 1/4 mi..if not, then whoever it was got mooned! :eek1
I was racing the storms home and flying in light to moderate rain most of the trip or I would of tried to deviate and fly right over you. Went to Little Rock. I was doing 150 Knots with a nice tail wind as I went by. Peace
Point taken, Elvis! You definitely da man! I'm gonna call you when it hits zero out -- you can ride the pig and tell me how your entire body stayed warm with those heated grips.
Very impressive Elvis! There is no way I would have done that even with my heated grips. I need some warmer riding gear............or I just need to grow a pair.
Ozone - Clarksville. Nice and sunny 38 deg. at ozone, foggy and wet in clarksville. still worth it You know the best thing about it?..................I get to ride home tonight.
