OK, so where is the riding gear?
Dang DJ! Get the BMW guys on the phone for the catalog!
(or Calvin Klein)
And who says R1150R.net don't take care of the ladies?

There was a hot wind blowing and the water was cool...life is tough sometimes..

I just rode through a huge rainstorm coming in this morning and then I read this...I could hardly see the road for surface water and he's in his damn shorts...
Your gear seems a bit sparse too..
BTW congratulations on the 2nd test result

I thought we were...at least till this series ends...we can't understand why Ashley Giles is on the pitch while Monty Panesar is reading the paper.
We stung Mr McGrath tho first innings didn't we!
Back on topic, we now have blue skies, forcast to last until at least 4.30pm when a monsoon is forecast for the ride home! I still love it tho!

That's OK, DJ. We northern hemisphere guys (and gals) rely on your ride reports to get us through the winter blues!
I'm more upset with the fact that my twice-daily exercise routine still doesn't get me to the point I would post a photo of myself in a swimming suit on the board!

Hmmm ... it was 22 deg (that is F, not C) when I left the house this morning, in my car.

How about a wetsuit?

As I read this I look out my window that the thermometer - 28F!!!
We'll get you back in six months (but you won't find me modeling in my shorts!)
Glad to see the bike back in action and that smile back on your face!

Surviving here too...cool in the mornings, sunny & mid 70's (24C) during the day.

damn, DJ, looking good!
And nice to rub it in, it's at least warm here in the afternoons, but morning and evening rides have been downright chilly and the water temp is plummeting fast! No swimsuit swimming for us until at least April or May.

Nope! Same effect, just less blinding!

Heck, have you seen the individuals who collectively make up this board? Have you seen the average BMW rider? DJ qualifies as a pin-up compared to most of us!

It was in the low 30s at the height of day, and it's in the 20s now in western Northern VA. I ride into the teens, but if the temp drops below 15 deg. F, I drive.
To think, it was 75 degrees last week!
