All I can say is you southern wimps. Come on north, we are calling for below freezing temps at night and snow.

ROTFLMAO!
I hear that the summer temps up north actual can reach the 90's for months at a time. It's true! 45 degrees in the morning and 45 degrees at night

I'm trying to picture a sling with snow chains....
That's a negative Ghost Rider the pattern is full...
Not Me! No Way! If I get past a light jacket it is too cold.
Have you all looked at the temps and the chance of rain for those days. Who all is still interested in this event? I'm not as excited about this event since I have seen the temps... Especially the Friday and Saturday temps.
Dad always used to tell me this. He climbed power poles and put the hot lines back together in thunderstorms, sleet, snow, and sub-zero temperatures for 35 years:
"There's no such thing as bad weather - just bad gear."

Like i have said for yrs to the apprentices that i have trained while working outdoors “ anybody can be cold, but a smart person can be warm” buy good cloths especially foot wear.

Went the plant I worked in at the time was shut down we had a large construction job going on and the first thing that I did was to go and buy the cold weather clothes that I could move in without to much bulk to stay warm and work in.
I didn't buy pants (yet). Was hoping I wouldn't need them. Hoping between the wind protection from being under the dash and engine heat that long johns and jeans would suffice.
I also have the gloves and jacket hooked up to my Neutrino also and I use the Temp Plus setting. For my legs I bought this from Amazon, I carry it with me but haven't had the need to use it yet, like you said the cockpit covering your legs and the engine heat pretty much keep my legs comfortable. But here's the link
they do not have my size in this one. But I bought something about like it after the second Murphy trip but have not used yet. I just ordered
Do we have a list of who all is attending?

That looks like the ticket. The thing I don't like about long johns and heated pants liners is that they go under your pants. Much prefer something I can hop out of in a gas station parking lot if it warms up while riding.
I will not be in Murphy
I wanted so much to be there this year, but once again, those plans have fallen through. Think of me guys when you're out having fun and I'm at home riding the white porcelain bowl prepping for a colonoscopy on the 11th.
I know, TMI. Sorry for being so blunt. Just wanted you to know I'd be there if I could have been
This will be my first time going. What is the turnout usually like? I assume this is just an informal get together mostly of members of this forum? I ask because there doesn't seem to be many folks going, or at that have confirmed it in this thread..

I do not think that we had over 8 the first two years. It makes for a good ride group

Ah. Well, I can cancel my room up until the 7th, if the consensus is to just call it off this year. Since that money was basically ear-marked for SS related activities I can just spend it on SS upgrades instead.
You will be good as long as it is not raining
