It is one of these topics with mixed feelings! https://www.chron.com/weather/article/houston-record-heat-16691954.php Yesterday and the day before, it felt like summer in H'town. Perfect for riding a motorcycle, albeit a Guzzi. I am still running around with my summer gear, and I don't even know if I need to purchase any winter clothing. Even with good protection, riding in the winter is never as enjoyable as when the sun shines. And we got plenty of that here, close to the GOM. Sure, it can be unpleasant as well, for those of us who ride with their PPE, and even if you decided to be adventurous, you will still roast in your T shirt, short and flip flops.... Cooler days are ahead they say... and I still remember last February, when we went without power or water for several days as a result of the cold. I used to ride my bike in winter back then. The outside temperature never was a deterrent. However, we have had some heavy rains early this morning, which makes the roads impracticable, and reduce visibility to null. Who rides regularly in winter here?
