Went for a little ride today, the warmest day of the coming week. I wish the traffic had been lighter (and that I'd dressed warmer) but all-in-all it was a good day. Just me and the SV.
What were the temps? I'm curious since you mentioned it. Or were you just underdressed. I think that's the biggest mistake we make as riders this time of year. Overestimating the feel of the temps!
It was mid 80s in Denver, but once I got up into them thar hills the temperatures dropped. Not only was I wearing a very thin t-shirt under my jacket, but I had my summer (mesh) gloves on.
While it wasn't necessarily cold, at speeds it was chillier than I was expecting.
Ya see? That's exactly what I'm talking about. We tend to forget that temps in other areas can surprise us. And I imagine on a sport bike (with little to no storage) that bringing extra gear is something you have to think about in advance.
Usually. If I know I'm hitting elevation I'll bring my tankbag and a shirt or sweater or something, but yeah, usually sportbikes don't have the extra storage. We just have to tough it up.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him.
