Well, it's usually not the cold that stops us as what comes with it....snow. As soon as snow hits, which is at 30 degrees and colder, that's when we stop. We have ridden in 27 degree weather and some of us colder, but again, it's the road conditions.

Besides, much colder and you need to winterize your bike and we don't do that here because we can't ride them for but a couple of weeks at both ends of the season.

Oh, I am such a wimp! I'd never cut it in Alaska. Here in Columbus, as much as half the time that we have sub-freezing temps, we have dry conditions. Of course when we do have precip, we tend toward freezing rain, sleet or hail :roll: , and then snow.

Ok Mz33, Hubby really wants me to get a Versys, so he sends me an email of a pretty red one with bags and all...
just wanted to know, how bad is that vibration you mentioned, I have had surgery on both hands and wanted to know if I could tolerate it.
Also can my short stature at least tippee toe it?
Last, are you enjoying your new ride????
I follow a new highway I haven't traveled before.
