Cold weather riding.

Post by Dell Boy »

Had a pleasant ride out this afternoon, had been getting stir crazy not having ridden for a couple of days. Red Commander on the open road running at 79 degrees, not enough to open the thermostat so did not have the benefit of heat flowing back from the radiator.Derek F.

Not as crazy as the Guzzi rider I saw on Friday in Basingstoke making his way through 3 inches of snow. No surprise really as all Guzzi riders are crazy.
