    RW>> Riding isn't much fun in the cold. Been there...   
      
    MH> It was better this past Saturday.  It went up to an incredible 65   
    MH> degrees - and off on the bike, we went.  My wife wasn't even cold.   
      
   On Wednesday it was mid 70s here. I spent the day blowing and mulching   
   leaves. Would have liked to finish up the Malibu, but the leaves were more   
   pressing than the Malibu. We close the shop at the end of January and I   
   either need to get over there and finish it, or load it up on my trailer   
   and bring it home. It should be easier to work on it in the warm sunshine   
   than it is to do so in a cold, cold garage.   
      
    RW>> How were the new lights working?   
      
    MH> They are working very well.  They look like this:   
    MH> http://alturl.com/b2r3o I also ordered a chrome switch and wiring kit   
    MH> which was used to connect them to the battery and give me the control   
    MH> to switch them off/on at any time.   
      
   Wow, that's pretty price too. I like that switch idea...   
      
    RW>> She needs some riding thermals...those will make her more   
    RW>> comfortable in the cold weather.   
      
    MH> Yeah, that would help.  Women seem to generally get cold easier.   
      
   Even though they have an extra layer of fat to insulate them.   
      
    MH> I doubt I would be able to get her to go riding when it was under 60   
    MH> degrees.  My 49 degree ride was a bit on the cold side, even for me.   
    MH> Not too bad, though.   
      
   I have a clamp on windshield that makes cold day riding a bit more   
   comfortable...
