Thanks Jediferret! That's what I needed. Sorry to hear you got that storm yesterday, I saw it on the weather channel. This summer I'll probably be wanting your temperatures though, after it heats up down here.
I really enjoy riding, but I don't ride as much as I originally thought I would. I often use my motorcycle for my commute when the weather is nice enough as it gets about 50 mph!! However, I am a bit of a fair weather rider. Since I have a 65 mile commute (mostly highway) I just cannot tolerate the temps much below 50 degrees. In the winter down here we have two kinds of weather, either chilly temps below that 50 degrees F or when it's warm enough we have thick FOG. I don't worry so much about me seeing other vehicles in the fog, I worry about road hazards. For example, if there is just a dead animal in the road (i.e. armadillo) and I hit it on 2 wheels...let's just say I don't like to think about the aftermath!!
