Out enjoying a nice afternoon, Elizabeth at 3 was about 55. Got warmer as I got into town, left Lone Tree to go home at 4:30 and it was 62. Felt the temp drop a little as I got off 25 at Castle Pines, by the time I got around the reservoir into south Parker it had dropped 20 degrees! Still OK at 42 as I was dressed for it. By the time I got east of Parker it had dropped another 10, now 32. Home at 5:15 and it was now 25, i am still warming up
Just checked my weather station at home, 3:30 58.9, 4:30 55.9, 5:00 29.5 5:30 22.7 33.2 degrees drop in one hour
Yup. Went to golf galaxy for kid's new golf clubs. Hoping to hit a bucket at family sports afterwards. As soon as we walked out it seemed like a 15 degree drop via strong winds.
It is now 18 at the house - 40 degree drop in 3 hours
Good ol' Colorado dude, insane.

That damn polar vortex!!!
Go home Colorado. You're drunk.
Reminds me of Chicago weather. I was also riding home at 4:30 from Downtown going down 25s to 255n when I hit 255n all the sudden it felt like.. well super cold. I was not even remotely dressed for the weather drop! Had to run my hands under cold water to warm them up by the time I got home.
When I left work it was still nice out. Soon as I got to 270 the wind got insane and it got COLD. By the time I reached 70/225, I couldn't feel my hands. That was wicked fast.

Whatsup yall!
I'll introduce myself in this thread as I was touched by CO's weather for the first time on a motorbike.
Weather.com's prediction was 63"F high at 2pm for Monday 02/24/14 but I was riding home in a -2F that same day at 5pm.
My hands were near frozen when I've reached my home. First time I've ridden in a negative degree temperature.
Props to you riders that I saw on this day!
Brave it or save it!
Never winterize your bike!

"So live your life so the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no one about their religion; respect others in their views, and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and of service to your people. Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide."
"Finish today what others won't, so you can achieve tomorrow what others can't."

My triumph hardly has the room to put in my wallet...
one good thing about the hayabusa, it has a fat ass. my gloves fit in the hump/seat cowl. but the actual trunk is pretty small though.
