Default Today's ride..

Went out for a few hours on the bike today, when i got home it was 34 degrees! Was wearing thick furry gloves, wool socks, thermals, jeans, and rain pants(for wind breaking) t shirt, hoodie, Columbia ski coat!! didnt get too cold besides my knees and fingers, gonna look into some heated gloves..

side note: GSXR 1000 does not like heavy throttle inputs on 34 degree pavement!

Still. Without the wind here it was 60s but the wind really cooled it off.
