So now I can understand why I was so freakin chilled. In early October this year, I took off from home headed to Bonners Ferry and then east on #2 to ride the Yahk River Rd in Montana. Was 26F on departure, and I hit 65MPH for a stretch until it near froze me...according to the chart.....4F. Thankfully it warmed up pretty nice by Bonners (3Mile) and the for the rest of the morning the temps rose steadily.

Only 36F here in GA this morning, but I did ride when it was 32F last week (probably only hit 70 mph). Still really early for the southern states to be this cold!

100% and it sucks! This deal came a month early. F U Mr. Winter!

With the way the temperature map looks across most of N.A. right now, anyone that can avoid icy precip is going to have a good shot at competing.

75F @ 90MPH = the reason I left the East Coast permanently as soon as I could and love CA and its "winters".

Substitute Chicago for East Coast for me. Eff bombs for winter! :beer:

Guess I still have some catching up, well down, to some of you guys.

102 MPH @ 28°F = 3.3°F (new). (102 Indicated so more like 95 actual give or take but that only adds .5°F to windchill making it 3.8°F)

I can't compete with that but this is cold for a Florida boy. 40*f at 70 mph = 10.82 old 23.39 new. Jacksonville Florida this morning [12/9/14] on the way to work. On the way home 60*f at 70 mph = 40.18 old 51.63 new.
