What is the coldest temperature you typically ride motorcycle or bicycle in? Not the coldest ever, but the cold temp that you say "meh, it's not really that cold..."
For me that's 45°F/7°C that my modest cold weather gear is good for. I've ridden handful of times at 32°F/0°C, but after 45mins I end up with a brain-freeze headache that is miserable.
It's a beautiful sunny, but frigid day today that has me yearning for a ride.

I couldn't be arsed then, and I can't be arsed now 😂
Back in July I hit 10K miles milestone and thought I should replace the brake pads, but after buying pads, the weather was so hot out I decided to wait a few months. I waited till the coldest day of the year (today), pulled the pads off one side and found they still have life. Garage so cold now that I just put them back and now I'm going to wait till April.
I promise to do them then 😆

Got a smug sense of satisfaction parking my iconic bike in front of the fancy art museum down in the city last week in a corner "non-spot" and not paying for parking.
I walked away wondering if I would get a ticket, or even if it would get stolen and just shrugged it off. But alas it was still there looking pretty as a picture when I returned.

I made it out and up a southern ridge of the Cumberland Plateau today on an absolutely beautiful sunny but cold day.
Watched some friends rock climb the craggy ridge walls with turkey vultures circling overhead hoping that we would become snacks 😅

It was ~10° warmer today on the edge of tolerable for a ride with bright skies so I headed up to the hills to see an old friend. Riding thru southern small town America, I stopped to warm up at an overly religious coffee shop that was totally decorated with them cheesy sentimental rustic wall signs and one below the register that stood out in contrast simply proclaiming that "Jesus is the Reason for the Season"!
Are signs like this popular in other countries?🤔

"Lost: Baby shoe, barely worn"
I rode past this lost shoe on the side of the Old Dixie Hwy several times this weekend and couldn't stop thinking about the "For sale: baby shoes, never worn" story before I finally stopped to take a pic

This little paper craft rally racer from Alex/FoldupToys is so sweet! I'm blown away with the little details like the rear wing, and the side mirrors and exhaust pipes sticking out. Very fun and satisfying to cut out and build.
Got it thru their Patreon https://folduptoys.com/portfolio/promotional-racer-toy/

Motorsport/Mechanicals of Mastodon, what say you?
My kid's birthday is coming up and he's in 2nd year of college driving a 20 year old Honda. I want to get him a toolset to keep in the car. He's smart but not particularly mechanically inclined, not sure if he'll ever actually use them.
Kobalt ($30): ratchet set has both mm/SAE sockets. May be handy to have both mm/SAE that he uses someday...
Craftsman ($30): has only mm sockets with screwdriver handle+bits

Dang it's so hard to capture the curviness of a road from ground level with a mobile phone camera... but I think I managed to capture hints of it with this one

We headed out for our first mini moto trip. It's only 80miles up into the mountains but staying up there for couple nights to use as base camp and then explore them mountain roads. Woot! I'm so stoked!

I stumbled upon what seemed to be an art gallery cosplaying as a Ducati and Vespa dealership in one of the fancy hotels down at the Dragoncon... at an intersection of some hobbit trail sky bridges, I'm not sure what was going on we were overheated and disoriented trying to find food for lunch and my partner didn't have any patience for my curiosity I was trying to get pics but the window glare was bad. I only got this one but there were three different Ducatis in there
