            Rode home in the snow after work last night around 10PM... OOf the DT125 did great!
            (motorcycle Cam)


            Got up to not so warm but good enough weather to ride in:

            Scraped the snow off the TUX and blasted into work! It was gorgeous to see all the snow!

            My Buddy Jack brought in his Suzuki too!


            I found a really good combination of gear this year!!! I was very comfortable on my ride in, took the long way and I'll take long way home... we just reached out high for the day 36' F!

                  I'm with you Dave. Had frost on my windows 2 days this week already. Sucks, I've had enough of winter already. Not all of us are completely nuts like Jedz, lol... I have some very warm winter gear, still don't mean I'm silly enough to ride on the street in the snow...

                    Justin what tires are you running on the TUX? Been thinking I want to put some on/off road tires onto my spare GS450 tires for the winter.

                      I would have thought you would take the bike with more wind protection.

                      Tell us about your "gear".

                        After scrapping the 25degF frost this morning, it was mid 40s by noon and just above 50 most of the afternoon.
                        SO great afternoon for going for ride... but I need to make more progress on my siding restaining project.

                        This evening I rode back to that roadside pumpkin wagon to get a pumpkin.

                        Made a Pump-O-Kin-Lantern.

                        Yah, one of my kids called it a Pump-O-Kin-Lantern, so that is what we have called them ever since.

                          Which bike is that? All my bikes are motor-cycles... hehehe Seriously all my bikes that are mobile only have a round headlight for wind protections (the T120 is down and out)

                          Gear includes winter pants, winter jacket some warm gloves and rain gear.

                              Went for a little ride up the "Goat Path" on Tuesday with a friend riding my 1100g. The Cal Salmon river never disappoints.

                                Finally got the GS out late this afternoon after doing an oil change on the Bandit. Made a run over to one of my favorite rides through Germantown down Browns Run road

                                Then made my way over to the Jasper Covered Bridge and Kern's Cabin

                                After the 65 miles, I threw some Stabil into the tank even though I'll still get it out some more before the end of the year
