And when my extremities go numb, I just wiggle them a bit every couple minutes to make sure they're still attached..

Now that it's 40 in the morning, instead of 30 (all last week) I'm nearly not having to chizzle ice off my nuts when I arrive at work

that's "hard-freeze" weather, and I don't need a little moisture on the road sending me to the hospital after a turn.

And I know it's possible. I live in Florida...the state where you MUST look both ways before crossing a one way street.

I admit, once riding to st. augustine I came to a red light, I was cruising @ about 60. I remember going for the clutch, letting off the throttle, starting to downshift, etc etc but when I looked down nothing happened

after that, I learned to wiggle every few minutes to make sure my body's still responsive to what my brain tells it to do

When I arrive at work my face is numb and the water that came from my eyes feels like it's turning into ice near my cheek

he refuses to wear a helmet so at 6:30 when he shows up for work it's just his scarf and some eye protection between him and the cold...

I recall around april last year not realizing how cold it would be on the ride, I rode to work (around 6:30am) and before I got to the first stop sign my teeth were chattering..

When you're that freakin' cold, every red light becomes heaven. But higher speeds become the devil!
