So I bought my SV650 a little under three weeks ago. I have 400 miles on it already and its a great bike. I just wish the weather would be more conduscive to riding. Ever since i got the bike there really hasnt been any good riding weather, but I still get out and get some. Last night it was about 42 degrees and misting, but I still managed a 30 mile ride to get my copy of Spiderman 2 (which kicks @$$ in case you were wondering). I know a lot of riders here arent riding anymore, but does anyone think I am taking unnecessary risks riding this late in the year?

If I know you guys like I think I do, then most of you will say that any riding is better than none...I was just wondering what you guys thought.

Oh yeah I am takin pictures of the new bike tonight and will post some tomorrow.

I say ride if you want to. Last year i rode down to 20F as long as roads were dry. Inspirion pretty well summed up my concerns. Good gear, particularly gloves thermals and jackets, road condition awareness and sun glare. 5:00 PM rush hour sun sits very low on the East Coast making it harder to see or be seen on some roads. Be carefull have fun be safe.
