LOL probably! Just got back from my son's house in the truck. It's going to be close. Going to make the decision around 2 pm after the sun has had some time to do some cleaning.

Ferret, this is like watching a TV drama. Will he make it for a ride? How many miles will he cover? Will he come back?
The tension's getting to me.

day 26 for Dec and 336 for the year.
It was 9 degrees when I took off for today's 67 mile ride and 10 degrees when I pulled back in 67 miles later
that brings the total to 28,981 with 4 days and 19 miles to go
The ST's thermometer won't read below 14 degrees...all you get are dashes

I can well imagine the discussion of the engineers, when they designed the ST: What do ya think, no one would ride such a motorcycle at temperatures below 14°F ?!The ferret_imp said:day 26 for Dec and 336 for the year.

That is darned cold...maybe your ST is just "singing" to you: "DASHING through the snow....."

With my handlebar mitts, heated grips, and heated jacket liner with the ST's excellent wind protection about the only place I feel cold is on my cheeks because I leave my face shield cracked open a bit for air, otherwise it's too claustrophobic lol.
At the conclusion of today's 1 1/2 hour ride my toes were starting to feel the cold. The cold cheeks don't bother me, but the cold toes do. If not for that I could literally ride all day at 10 degrees (or lower) without discomfort.
I had to run down to Florence Ky today to return the big ribbon from the car my dil bought my son for Christmas (lucky kid ...she has bought him a Ducati 696 Monster and a Honda Accord 2.0 turbo sport since they got married). Anyhow when I get to the dealership all the sales people were bundled up and amazed to see a mc pull up and commented on how cold it was to be riding. I unzipped my coat and let them stick their hand inside against the heated jacket liner I had just unplugged and it was like a revelation for them how warm it was.

I have a friend who is moving today to a new home about 7 miles from his current home. He was lamenting on social media the 7 mile ride on his BMW RT in the sub-zero weather. It was suggested to him to rent a trailer. I should point him to Ferret's post and tell him to buck up.

You really should look into snowmobiling. If you like to ride in the cold.

Not enough snow here for snowmobiling although I have ridden them. We were an Arctic Cat dealer in the late 70's early 80's. Truth be told I just like riding motorcycles and I truthfully HATE the cold. Hate it. Start complaining about November and quit complaining in May. Just have to deal with it, cause family isn't moving any place warmer.
