CO rarely maintains a below freezing, consistent temp. In the am or late evenings, sure. For the average rider, not an issue. Besides he's running synthetic, not a problem.
    Now those Lead Wing riders, i think they use a 10W after Nov1 , they run in everything except ice packed roads, when possible. Seen herds of them coming out of a 20* fog packed highway matching paint jobs, helmets, jackets, even their walkers strapped down. Like it was a day on the beach.
    I love that comment. I Ride all year and on a 06 Wing its funny how everyone thinks Wing riders are old. I am one of the people who have a much improved ride after switching to Rottela T6, many of the HD guys are using it also and love how the bike runs.
