Nearly every rider I've talked to in Northern California has done nothing but complain about how cold 50+/- degrees is. Are you Sh!tting me? This is heaven here!!! Who could complain? I just want to say that none of the complainers have been british enthusiasts so I'm not labeling any of you as "weiner's"........yet. Buck the *uck up campers...this is some of the best riding I've done all my life (the entire 26 years of it, that is). Nice twisty roads for my little beast to own. I'm headed to Alice's tomorrow where I'll just ride right past because I would rather ride my Triumph than put it in an stupid fashion show these A*holes claim to have. I see more bikes parked at cafes and pubs than on the road....come on!!!
:-D :hammer: :-D :hammer:

oh yeah... :asb:

Alice's is a good place to set up a ride with others. It's a good rendezvous to start the day but I agree a lot of people spend the day up there and don't ride. :hammer:

Good to know....by the way, don't think by my previous statement that I'm prejudging anyone there....I just automatically assume that all the custom choppers I see out here have riders that are older than the mileage on there bikes.........that's all.

no harm or false impressions intended

I do it all, I ride, and I pose. Alice's, The Junction, a favorite micro-brewery, and little bars along the way. I bring cigars, park, fire one up, and walk around Alice's checking out all the cool hardware. Last week at The Junction, I just sat...... smoking a cigar, chatting with the other bikers and cyclists.
I also enjoy riding around the Delta, stopping in at Al the Wops, or occasionally taking the river road into West Sacramento to the Club Pheasant for a Garlic Steak Sandwich.

I don't care how cold it is. It's midnight as I type this, and I just got back into town (Stockton) from having dinner, a beer, and listening to the Blues at Elk Grove Brewery. I think it's 40 degrees out right now..... hit some fog, a couple cold spots, and cruised at The Ton for about ten miles..... gotta love it.

Here in Central California, I don't go riding if it drops to freezing..... unless the sun has been out for awhile. Short of freezing in the shade.....

the colder, the better!
:-D

Well, if you REALLY want to complain about the cold you should be here this AM. It's -12C (10F), but warming up to a balmy -6C(21F) in the PM.

it doesn't get cold until the 'summer' - you'll see.

Hey, I've just spent the morning riding around the North Lakes. The wife sent me out for some milk, the papers and a sack of potatoes and I somehow managed to turn my little errand into a nice run - funny how that keeps happening. Anyway, the temperature was mostly about 2 or 3 degrees C but, as the roads were dry, I felt quite happy to lean pretty hard on the corners on the return spell. Aside from having to chastise some rectal sphincter of a man at the local farmers' market for fiddling with my bonnie (being in a good mood, I only twisted his arm and shoved him away, rather than administering a proper hiding), it was a great morning's blatt and I didn't even need to wash the bike down afterwards.
Just as I was putting the bonnie into the workshop it started to rain. I went inside to find that my other half had lit a good roaring fire in the living-room hearth and had made me a platter of fresh bacon and egg butties and a pint mug of steaming hot tea. I sat warming myself through by the fire and tucked into my fare whilst looking out of the window at the miserable weather closing in outside - and I didn't mind a bit.
Sometimes, but not often, I quite like the winter.

Thunder,

I have no idea who could complain. This last week is as good as it gets and if it is to chilly on the coast just head inland and you gain 10 degrees or so. Keep enjoying this fine weather, after all isn't that why you moved here? I was setting stones on the new front porch for most of the day and decided about 3:30 that it would be the prudent thing to do to let the mortar set awhile so I wouldn't take a chance on having anything move on me and after all the battery needs to be charged at least twice a week so I headed out onto Bear Creek road to give the Sport Bikes someone to pass up.

Love that sunshine!
