It got up to 74 degrees in my part of Virginia today and I had a really nice ride! Went to a friend's Christmas tree farm way out in the country and had the most pleasant visit. I felt like Santa Claus as I was given a plate of home made cookies and a nice, cold glass of milk! YUM! they have a beautiful Christmas shop with all kinds of beautiful things. After my visit with them, I rode over to the Stonewall Jackson Shrine where a Ranger friend of mine resides. I had never met his family and they were all out in the yard. What a nice young family! His wife is also a Ranger and they have an adorable little boy. We had a very nice visit. I left there and just traveled some back roads, got to see some beautiful Christmas decorations, and got home at O dark hundred! Man, what a great day! Of course, we will pay for it tomorrow as we have a front coming in and are looking at the possibility of some severe storms! Not looking forward to that! Anyway, all in all, the Burgman 400 just rode like a dream! I LOVE this bike! I got some nice comments on it also. Hope everyone gets to have a day like this! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Cold Weather, Is Good for the Burgman 400's The SAT Sensor Air Temp Detects Colder Weather There for Adds More GAS to the Cylinder = More Power

,Others have said But Bad for MPG

Elliott,

Nice - we're buried in ice but supposed to get above freezing next week.

Nice - we're buried in ice but supposed to get above freezing next week.

Somehow, that statement doesn't seem as optimistic as it sounds.

I can relate to the ice as we had freezing drizzle late Friday into Saturday and then followed with a dusting of snow. A few days before it was in the lower 60s and I was able to go riding.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you.

Was 87 here yesterday and 84 today both sunny days and no rain. I did not get to ride the Burgman due to some surgery Thursday but it sure was BEAUTIFUL.

Yeah. 70 or so here in Leesburg yesterday and I went out for over 4 hours, mostly into Loudoun and Fauquier counties along the backroads and then down to Front Royal along the Shenandoah River from Rt 50. One of the better rides of the year.:happy7:

We have been cooking here in NSW Australia for the last week .Temps of 95 to 100 and today about 90 to 95 with smoke (probably bushfires ) and sirens wailing
And its all to blame on your Mr Dickhead Al Gore and his global warming nonsense.
Our summer has certainly arrived with a bang whilst November was our wettest in 25 years
I don't like riding when its too hot moreso if I have to wear a jacket .We went on one ride of about 260klms last summer and the temps climbed to 44C or about 110 and it is the only time I have ever contemplated leaving the scooter at a service station and ringing the wife to come and collect me in the car --I sweated off 4kg that day .
Thankfully we don't get real cold or snow but real heat is no fun .

We're back to our average which is 72 at this time of year. Was 38 this morning when I got to work. Didn't ride as I need to do some last minute Christmas food shopping. Stuff I need wouldn't fit in the 650 so drove my Passat to work.

 

[Desert Rat]

Hit 80 on Christmas & did do a short ride (20 miles round trip) to Circle K for a bag of ice.

 

[Elliott Larron]

Elliott,

-6C (or 21F) here right now. City is a mess recovering from ice storm. Still about 50k homes without power (from a high of 250k). Windstorm heading through, might push the number back up as trees crack further.

Wish I could lay down a few kilometers. Nothing but slush, salt & crud for the next little while.

 

[ChipDoc]

It's been running from the low 60s to the mid 80s here and I've taken the liner out of the mesh jacket. I brought it along for the ride home from work in the morning though; it's scheduled to drop into the 50s.

 

[Desert Rat]

We're 10 degree above normal in the mid 70's. Little chilly at work this morning down to 39................burrrrr
