Then we need some Dakota riders :whistle:

the water here is 53....so being on a bike in 58 is like...well like being in the water really...seeing as it is right here next to the land and by far outsizes the land mass....it is cold

here is a guide to wetsuits and the water here they suggest

54F–59F
12C–15C At this water temperature booties become necessary, at least if you like to feel you feet. 4/3 wetsuit is OK, but if you will do a lot of surfing in water at the bottom of this temperature range, you should probably get a 5/3. Cood water temperature 4/3 wetsuit and booties


you see very few bikes right now....like 2 on a cold day and one them is usually some nut kid on a 125 with garden gloves and the other one does not own a car and his girlfriend wont drive him to work... :) ...now when it goes back to 60-65...you see 20-30 on a drive

Lucky you Jeff, and all others able to ride.
I've seen bikes out almost everyday still, in the big city.
Even this morning on the highway, and I'm sure it was below freezing, but the roads were dry.
My bikes are all stored away. :(

Took this picture last week out the back door:

Rob, I took the sidecover you bought from me on ebay yesterday to the post office and didn't even need a jacket. Close to 70 here in Denver yesterday. :) We are in a warm, warm weather pattern for several years down here.

321,000 miles on KZ's that I can remember. Not going to see any more.
