riding to a bank on some of these roads would be insane. My limit remains 18 degrees F

It was well worth it too. His psychotic girlfriend moved out too

About that picture in the first post, how do we know that the guy doesn't live 1/2 a block from the bank?

Yeah, that pic says 1c though, not 1 degree

Can I just park my bike next to the huge snow bank in front of my house and take a pic to win?

Or I could grab my digital thermometer (after I get it thawed out) and put it on the bike near said snowbank and take a pic.

Nearest bank with a sign is 25+ miles away... fuck that.

I don't think I'm gonna win this one from South Carolina, either... but I still like this pic

(really, *really* not in my driveway!)

I could have gotten a 33-degree sign a few days later, but I was too busy trying to find a hotel, so I could get the hell off the road before the snow that had been melting all day could turn to ice...

Absolutely not. Those are meant for snow, sportbikes are not.
