well sort of - :D

Nice the morning - it's already 6 degrees at 1 am and going as high as 10.

SW wind - so likely warmer near Lake Erie - hmmmmm late season Dover run???

Showers in the afternoon but scattered so might work out okay. Streeeeeetch that season. ;)
 
Bike is warming up as i type, 1st morning in a while that i have been able to commute this early out my way.
Made it out yesterday for a small 50km run, might have to try and double it up today ;)
 
Don't head north towards Orangeville, it is pouring rain at the moment!
 
Starting to rain downtown. I purposely didn't fill up yesterday so I had to go out today one last time, rain or shine. Yesterday was great, other than my back tire slid out around the first corner I took, but I kept it up. I figured the tire was a bit wet from pushing it across the grass. Put about 50kms on the bike and even did my first 2up of the season! Not bad for 22 days before xmas.
 
Yeah the radar shows very wet to the north but the rain event seems streaming north of Toronto - if you check Cleveland radar it shows the direction the rain is moving with Toronto just on the eastern edge.
 
I put stabilizer, filled up the tank, and cleaned the bike last weekend. But I took it for a ride yesterday anyway and winterized it again. I figured the rain today might freeze so I didn't want to take a risk; sort of regretting it now at home :(
 
I was out for four hours today, went along the shore of Lake Erie from Port Colborne to Port Dover. I only saw 5 motorcycles on the road!

No riders in Dover at all. Weather was actually pretty good, a drizzle in Dover but nothing more.
 
Was warm but wet yesterday - took the Burgman in for oil and filter change and then put the Metz's on today - felt like a different bike.....damn end of season just about....I sort of tucked it away for the season but would take 5 minutes to untuck.
Now really looking forward to late April when I get back and have some decent rubber on again. Was painful handling on squared rear the original owner left me with :(
Metz arre a treat and of course wet and cold today felt very secure for the few curves on the way back from the shop.
 
debating.....it's so busy during the day can't get away - Shed is closed tho Planet Bean is a nice ride.....if it cracks double digits I'll likely put on some Ks....cold gear seems good tho think I will return the EB gloves.
