cold as a witches...
it was 30 degrees fahrenheit this morning, and i have recently got some heated gloves and wanted to see how they hold up in arctic weather so i rode my motorcycle to work like i normally do to see how i could handle it.
i have been riding my bike everyday to work still as it has been in the 40's on my way to work, which isn't so bad with full protection, most importantly heated gloves. today was a different story... when you are driving 80+ mph and the weather is 30, i don't want to figure out how cold i should have been.
on a little side note, i did not ride my bike to work yesterday, as i had to go to court for a speeding ticket (that i got on my bike) however, i am still coming out saving money over driving my jeep including tickets. i have almost 10,000 miles on my bike, most of them commuting miles (all in 6 months mind you) and at saving an average of $10 a day in gas, and after some other calculations i figured i have saved $860 by riding my bike. boo ya.
anyways, riding my bike today was not that cold because of all the protection, so i think i can go a bit colder, i will let you know when i reach my "freezing point".

Did you count the actual cost of purchasing the motorcycle in your cost savings?
no, but that is put into the "fun factor" of the bike. I would obviously need to ride a lot more to compensate for the price of the bike, but i wanted another one anyway for a toy, so the gas mileage is all savings.
What kind of bike did you get (by the way)? And you're crazy, but who else but a crazy person would go camping with a STRANGER a week after they met them? Huh....
