Cold riding:

the time when it DOESN'T make sense to go faster...
You keep thinking "i'll get there faster and i won't deal with the cold as long"
but then you figure out...
"****! it's cold when i go faster!"

So I started my Hawk and eventually went on my way...

it was so cold the tires felt like they were responding dramatically different than normal. I could also feel the "slip" around every turn, and even during accelerations

I kept singing my made up song,
"freezing my *** off
freezing my *** off..
to get me to work...
to get me to work..."

couple mornings ago I saw a porsche running a light, and then hauling *** around a turn. I simply shook my head and quietly said in my helmet...

"wanna race?"

no joke, I didn't want to haul ***, because I was freezing. But I can't allow a porsche to just go unpunished

Might look kinda goofy...

Especially with no face shield!
Is rain on a bike worse than 100 doctor needles?
