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. ;)

Saw an Orange Gsxr 2 Saturdays ago going up the DVP and thought the same thing.

That being said, when I didn't have a car, I'd be going out in heated gear regardless of the temps if the road was dry.

Now, that heated gear is just sitting in a box...

Why is your heated gear just sitting in a box?

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

Weather's looking like it will hold. I'm getting out there shortly.

Yeah, the radar looks safe now. Temps are passable. Roads still wet out here though, if things dry off in the next few hours I may indeed take a brief scoot.

Some sun would be nice, but that's doubtful, and beggars can't be choosers.
 
Sun and 8 up at the Forks. Brian was just behind me, :D Came up the slab to avoid traffic and hands almost too warm.
 
Yup, first break-in test-ride is complete. (New piston rings in engine) It started raining a little on the way back.

Commuting in downtown rush hour isn't very fun when it's freezing cold and you're sitting in bumper to bumper traffic for 1.5hrs... Also have issues with my wrist with a sharp pain shooting up my arm (when using the clutch often after 20 mins) which seems to be worse in the cold.

That being said, I whipped out my heated gloves this morning and went for a ride :P

Had stuff I needed to get done in the AM, got back and it’s raining again.

Roads never really dried up here, either.

I’m just going to grumble in a corner now. Suffering from Parked Motorcycle Syndrome bad this winter.
 
Mostly calm winds, too.

I may try, try again.
 
It's a bright sunny day which needs a couple hours to warm up. Usual short-ride destination for 11:30 - 12:00 ish
 
I’m in my driveway right now, and yeah, it’s awesome out with the sun and zero wind.

Also waiting for the roads to dry, and I’m out there.
 
Got up too late ..watching Federer becoming the greatest tennis player ever at 3.30 am and forward.
Took a sniff outside and decided one Jan ride was enough - sure was nice yesterday at the beginning and just squeaked by the rain getting home.
Tire pressure held over the winter so far and Shorai battery is a marvel.

Looks like Feb 1 will be just warm enough to move the bike to the new place and then it gets dismal again for a couple of weeks,
 
Was out since noon and just got back. Went west all the way across the city, great day.

Saw an R6? at Weston and Sheppard. Saw maybe an R3 on the DVP heading south.
