A Sad Day Indeed!

Heck,
geezer brought and needed his Electric Clothes when he visited me here in Az. Early March this year...
I was always impressed with the electric clothes he rides with.
He is one Tough Canuck even with the plug-ins...

I let him ride the Grand Canyon and Monument Valley on his own as temps then were 0 to Highest of 34*...:newsmile078: Just NOT my style...

I was surprised how much the temps fluctuated in Arizona when I spent 2 weeks with Bubbie in March. Glad I took my heated clothes along. I enjoyed the 34 degree temps better further north than 85 in Tucson. Too hot!!

I took a heated vest with the wiring hook-ups for Bubbie but he said he didn't need heated clothes in Az. But, he wouldn't ride with me to the Grand Canyon. What a wuss. He sure is a Zonite now. :newsmile100::newsmile100:

BUBBIE'S blood isn't as thick as us northern boyz anymore geezer. Actually mine is starting to thin out now that i'm in Colorado. I can't ride everyday out here during the winter months but there are plenty of days that I can.

Yup, 78 and sunny today it sure felt good:D
 
High of 48 tomorrow. I will have to get out for a few hours. The coldest I have road is 15 but that was a Patriot Guard Mission for dear friend.
 
Yes geezer and Jeff.....

When it gets DOWN close to 72* outside temps here in SE Az. at 4400 feet, I look for my Long Sleeve shirt to cover my cut-off-@shoulder shirt, allowing Olive tanned arms...:D

I think back when up in Western Wa. a few years ago, 72* was considered HOT and no heavy leathers needed until FROST was Out...:rofl
Rode below freezing up there many rides...

Favorite of wife and mine was a Chilling Event... The Olympia Children's Toy Ride... usually the First Sat in Dec.

We Headed form Enumclaw to Tacoma picking up riders along the way (most of them unknown to us, but riders) They Joined IN and on down to Lacy we rode.
Ice was present in Most spots along the way...

Many THOUSANDS of MCs gathered at a BIG parking lot staging area @ Capitol Mall in Lacy...

Highways into Olympia were TOTALLY SHUT DOWN for this event AND Hundreds of POLICE ESCORTED this Ride into Olympia...

Thousands of people, with their Families Lined the Highway for miles to Watch a Bike Parade (IT WAS That)...

High-Fiving and Praising the bikers that rode from that Over Full parking lot... Bikes @ 3 and 4 abreast and ALL bikes loaded down with Gifts for the Marine Semi-vans.
(Marines Collecting toys at the end of the ride at the State Capitol in Olympia)

There is Where WE could have used Electric Clothes
(geezer's were made in Tumwater Wa.)

BUT being STUBBORN to the core back then and still am... Black Leather-uped is all we did...

Still brings a Tear to my eyes JUST Remembering this Wonderful Annual Tradition.

We went many times and looked forward to a DRY cold Day... Sometimes it was Dry, BUT ALWAYS COLD...:D
