    Guwad!. LOL

    Reg, I tend to agree with BB about the temps. I have never worn Aerostich so don't know how wind resistant they are. I have ridden often in -5C temps, even a few times in -10C temps. The cheap rubber backed rain suits go a real long way to keeping you warm actually. They stop air movement so you trap the body heat inside. This with a good suit, and you should stay plenty warm enough. But if the air easily penetrates the seams of that suit, then you will get cold. Several hours of riding in cold equates to sore neck and shoulders at the end of the day.

    Woke up before 3 am. Finally gave up and got out of bed at 3:30. On road by 4am to work a few hours then head to airport.

    This thing seems to be working. Where is Reg?

    I'll turn it on as I move across the country but off in flight which should make it interesting.

    nah, it gets a bit wonky when you are sitting still. I parked and walked to my office and put the phone on the desk where it's been for 2+ hrs.

    We'll see what 2pm brings. He might end up wishing he took i40 across New Mexico.

    Or we could hit a window in the crud and have an awesome ride.

    The gopro is charged up

    I offered to send him my heat gear on loaner but he did not get back to me. Bet he wished he had it now. That's OK Reg. It adds character and lord knows, you need a lot of that!

    SLOVFR is about to ride into a damned storm here. We are supposed to get 2 1/2 inches of rain tomorrow and lots more for the next couple days.

    This storm coming in the PNW is going to be a bitch. S maybe should pull over or just turn around and head for the barn. My place in Ogeron is on the coast. We are looking at 2.5 inches of rain which means flooding and high winds that can gust to 100mph.
