The DFWM say anything thread

Yeppers. Did a solo Muenster ride yesterday and had no idea the northerly winds would be so strong. Knew the front was coming but the forecaster's claims of low to mid 60s all through the afternoon was flawed by the major wind gusts outside of town! Knocked the wind chill down at 70-80 mph cruising speed and had to fight major blustery cross winds on a full fairing bike. No damn fun at all. Glad I strapped on a pair of winter gloves and glove liners to the back seat. I needed them. Brisk doesn't describe it. Just glad I didn't try it today!! My goal was to go Friday with no wind and 75+ degree temps. Best laid plans...

I toughed it out during my Friday morning commute so I could enjoy the ride home.  It was very nice.  [moto]

The morning ride... not so much.

[muskrat]

it was cold this morning when I went out.  started at 34 and it didn't warm up enough.  hands are still frozen.

Today I had my first ride for about 2 months, the wrist is healing.  

I was so happy to be back on the duc I did not "really" feel the cold.  [moto]

Glad you are back in the saddle Andy  [moto]  These mornings are awfully brisk, and wish the sun stayed up a bit longer to be able to enjoy the ride home from work in daylight

Very cool! I think we've got at least another few weeks before it gets too nasty cold. Of course that's why god made gerbing

....wish the sun stayed up a bit longer to be able to enjoy the ride home from work in daylight 

Amen to that!!  The Hyper's headlight suck-diddly-ucks!! 

[webspoke]

Amen to that!!  The Hyper's headlight suck-diddly-ucks!! 

Ha! The hyper makes about twice the light output of the 848 headlight on low beam

how much light were you expecting? a couple of folks have had jordan put on auxilary lights on the MTS1200's for longer touring with more potential night riding. Brighter than hell. From the factory, I can't think of a motorcycle in the sport category that has a very high-output headlight. An HD UltraClassic like Dax's with the three large lamps is the closest to real nighttime visability, but that is a whole lot of lamps to get there too.

My Hyper puts out enough light for me. Of course I have
the S model
