Took some pictures this morning. Here are a couple that show how cool it was. Airbox temp of 36F after riding for about 20 mins. and the frost still on the passenger seat...
Another commute into work (Pics)

but it was worth it since It is still nice enough to ride and these are just a couple of my views on my way to work. besides, just a couple more days of the mileage contest to go!

Jeez man, must be nice. All my view consists of is semi trucks and jacked up f-150's all the while swetting my ass off. Ugh.

how do you display ambient temp, mine always gives me engine temp.

Just press the reset button quickly to display air temp.
reiobard, looks like your idle is a little low.

Mad like crazy not angry
1. It's 8:30 and you are still on your way to work? Lucky bastard!
2. You got 80 miles on the first bar? Lucky bastard!
3. It seems really cold out. I pity the foo!
Well I know you will but keep riding until you can't any more!
What kind of gear (cold weather) are you wering in those temps?

Great pics once again :thumbup:
actually it is 7:30, i haven't had a chance to change the clock from daylight savings time. but yeah i get to about 94 miles before the 2nd bar drops off.
and as far as gear, i wear some alpine star snowmobile gloves, head sock thingy that covers my neck, textile jacket with the liner in it, work pants, with rain pants and rain jacket, heated grips and that is all for now. nothing too too fancy.

just a note on the air temp, it is measured from the air box which heats up while riding from engine heat, so the only time it is accurate is before you start the bike after letting it cool for a couple hours, it was probably about 30 out this morning when i took the picture.

Yeah yeah yeah, i know... I was going to come up with something witty like:
that's not idle, the bike is shivering...
but...
If you had frost on your seat, is there any on the road, and do you ride on it? We're arid enough in Utard that we never have frost, but I've always wondered...

there is not enough moisture in the air (unless it rained) to cause condensation on the roads, the cars and bikes in the area don;t have the advantage of ground heat to melt it as it settles. i have ridden the morning after a rain and there was a good bit of black ice on the road, but you can see it and just avoid it. If there is so much that you can't avoid it then just turn around and get the car...

I'll take my camera with me next time it's sunny (next May) and take some pics on my commute too. Great idea!
