Yep, got nice again. Rolled the bike out to the driveway for the first time since October, puttered in the garage a little more hoping the roads would dry some more...and then it clouded over and started raining.

Tomorrow looks pretty good! Today's sun has take the ice from the more well traveled roads. It looks like little chance of precipitation tomorrow and light winds so little likelihood of lake effect.

I'm eyeballing Friday. Too bad there's so much fresh salt down after the freeze last night.
Nice ride in this morning!
Other than needing to be a little more careful on my street and driveway the rest of the roads heading in were just fine. Weather apps and my house thermometer said -14 when I left as did my GPS. My bike temperature display reads "low" when it displays below -10 (and it's 2 degrees optimistic so that actually happens below -12) so it was at least -13 while ridign to about Maple where the display started showing -10 (for a real balmy -12.)
No road splash, very little if any loose stuff on the roads and most importantly no bugs!

Was a nice ride in this morning. The roads were wet so I suspect you wouldn't ride on it but the sun is out and I imagine will dry the roads up nicely. It should be good for you to get out for a bit.

Keep thinking about it, but it’s still nipply out and I don’t have heated gear.
But yeah, thinking hard.

Rode last week, spent more time cleaning it afterwards than actually riding it
Not worth it IMO , was so annoyed babying that thing it’s like trying to kill squirrels with a nuke, kind of underwhelming and frustrating

I saw someone riding their orange GSXR600 downtown last night. It was lightly snowing as he rode by me on Parliament..
That screams “I just bought my bike and are desperate to ride it” to me. Most sport bike riders are firmly in the fair-weather crowd.
