Would it be too bold for me to suggest that, regardless of where you live, that might be a clue that it is time to take the cage.....just for a day or two ??? :poke2: :biggrin:

Gotta agree with Easy on his comment. I am sure I have more cold weather gear than you but my Ranger has a heater and is pain free. It is one thing if necessity forces you to ride but another if you have an option to be warm and overall safer and comfy.

I agree and yet, that option just isn't available to me right now, I'm in living in Marietta while I'm at school and not home so this is the only option I have other than walking. Just trying to make it as bearable as possible on those few really cold mornings we have around here.

Hey, my son in law and I did a nice 250 mile ride together this afternoon, sort of a warm up for our upcoming ride to Panama City Beach in about a week. It was really the first time I've ever ridden any distance with another rider and it was nice, we had a good ride and even got to enjoy dinner with my wife and youngest daughter at the mid way point before heading back. Both our bikes performed well, he's riding a 2002 Honda Vulcan 750, really nice looking bike!

I stand corrected, you are right Honda Shadow no such thing as a Honda Vulcan!
