Alright, now's your chance to make me really jealous! I walked to work this morning, 1 hour at -17C (1.4F) with a windchill to -26C(-14.8). It got colder all day long and now sits at -25C(-13F) with a windchill to -37C(-34.8F).:(

How is it where you live? I am READY for spring and I don't yet own a FZ6! Soon, though.

I don't think I could live where it is that cold.

Yeah, mild Santa Ana winds for the past 2 days, no humidity, I was outside all day building a new set of gates for my house, the weather ROCKS!

3 rides planned for this week, including a Saturday trip to Willow Springs to watch some early season road racing, damn, LA sure sucks!

Hmmm. I would like to say that you get used to the cold...but cold is cold! We have had a pretty good winter so far, but it turned cold overnight again. Looking forward to going to Vancouver in 2 weeks to make a purchase. Of course, the bike will continue to reside at the dealer until middle to late April. I am going to try missing the last storms of the season in northern BC.

I might have to plan a trip to California in the winter just to escape for a while.

I would have thought that living up in that area a dual-sport motorcycle would be more practical. Have something that can go off and on road.
The temperature is supposed to get up to 65 F today, but a cold front is coming through tomorrow and Thursdays high will only be 39 F. The weather man is talking about a possibility of sleet tomorrow night and a lot of people around here are starting to freak out about it! Most around here don't know how to drive on ice or snow. Tornadoes don't seem to scare them too much, but start talking about a little frost on the road, and they freak!!!!:D

I agree that a dual-sport would be very useful here. I just want a nice streetbike first. I can always borrow my fathers '08 KLR if I want to travel the many gravel roads/trails.

It was -25C when I walked this morning. I am really looking forward to riding this summer. MY favorite time is riding at midnight, with sunglasses!

Oh, I'll take ice and snow over tornadoes any day, thanks.
