You're either Very brave or Very foolish. I'll let you decide which. ))

Well they say to be courage and foolishness share commonality!

There was actually ice on the windshield and the tires, which I had to rinse
off with a bucket. The roads here never ice over though, so once I was on
the road all was well.

I survived it, this Saturday night they're saying mid to low 20's so I may
break the 26.2 record on my Sunday ride.

In Florida we get to ride all year no matter the temp. I remember 18
degrees one winter here, but wasn't riding bikes then.

I have the 210 givi shield which doesn't do anything for your hands, it does
keep most wind to the top of my helmet, I'm 5'11.

I do not have the leg shields or hand shields that are available.

I put on thermals, then jeans, then a long sleeve t over the thermal top.

Then the Joe rocket textile with liner.

Then I put on some balloon pants to cover the jeans as jeans nor thermals
cut the wind.

Then I put on Cortech scarab winter gloves.

It wasn't all that bad, but I did keep the face shield sealed the whole way.

The temp guage never got over 1/4, on normal Florida days it would run a
little over 1/2 where everyone said theirs usually runs.

So the motor was very cool today!
