ha, I woke up and it was freaking like 60 degrees out. but cloudy. So I kept checkin weather all morning and rain was on/off...Well around noon clouds/rain broke and sun was shining. Looked at radar and it was all clear down south. I said screw and decided to go out despite the yard being a swamp and the 1/2 mile trek down the dirt road.

So I get out and head south and get lost. Temperatures feelin great (55). About 30 min into the ride the weather decided to do a 180 and storms developed and I was left playing dodge the storm. Then after a while I decided to give up and bite the bullet go back north into the darkness. Was completely lost at this point. Temp ended up dropping to what felt like 40 degrees and I got rained on most of the ride. Ended up going a good 80 miles...but wish I didnt. Bike is filthy, I got soaked, and ended up being cloudy and cold the whole time..

What the hell kind of climate we have that has the daytime high of like 60 at like 9am.

sounds like a fun ride. One more month and we should be good to go. No more snow I hope.

NY isn't any better. I had to lay down some more salt. The weather is suppose to dip into the low twenties tonight. Nothing worse then slipping on black ice on the way to work.

i FINALLY rode today! me and my friend on his GSXR 600 went out for around 70 miles. it was supposed to be in the low 50s today, but it was only high 30s when he left at 12:30 and mid 40s when we got back. so it was cold and the roads were shitty, but we had a blast! no regrets here

All next week they are forecasting low 50's for high (Lehigh Valley Area) so that should be fun.
