Nic!


You're a madman! lol. 35 deg. and the top down. I think Porsche should be paying you some kind of top down, frostbite durability testing stipend.

Let's at least share your secrets to being able to stand that low of temperature. I have driven mine at 44F and just froze despite having heat to max,heated seats on, heated steering wheel on, wind screen up, long underwear, three jackets, gloves, wool skull cap. I always do keep the windows down, which may be part of my problem.......since "topless" is defined that way!!

Rule 1: Never put windows up with top down. Only exception is if you are doing 75 on a highway and actually need to get somewhere. Or if you drive a corvette. Rule 2: you have to want it. Rule 3: be the ball. Grow up riding motorcycles from a young age (5) through forests, farmlands, fields, streams, winters, etc. Get your moped license on your 14th birthday having looked forward to that moment for years. Ride the wheels off that visiting big cities nearby using only secondary country roads and worrying your parents sick. Ride through rain and love the feeling. Learn. Adapt. Turn 16. Continue the spirit. Never forget what it's like to be 10 years old. Never. Buy a Porsche C2S cab and go nuts as it's the ultimate open top motorcycle racer in a car for this specific person. Live life every day. Remember it's a lot of luck to be here. Be humble. Respect elders and care for family. Love the one you are with. Peace of mind enables a great many things. That's all I've got sitting in a parking lot waiting for my amazing wife to come back with our morning lattes from her favorite store. I leave the top up for her. sent with iOS using Rennlist

When you say "ride through rain and love it"................I hope your not doing topless in the rain too!!! I've tried it in a very very light rain at 60 mph and the wind stream keeps the rain out of the cab, but it ain't fun and I feel stupid driving with the top down and the windshield wipers on

Nice post. I still feel guilty about how much my parents worried about my bike.
