Ice is just now starting to go. This lake is glacier fed and we got unbearably cold in less then 10 minutes. The wind didn't help much either.

On a side note what do you guys use to prevent the rattling when mounting onto the hull like this?

Are you running hand and foot warmers?

This winter I ran some pisser water up into my handlebars with holes drilled into my grips. It kept my hands warm but by throttle finger still froze. And my feet stayed pretty warm in 7mm shoes.

Well at least you braved it! I would have died...I rode a couple weeks ago down here in AZ and had to put on my suit. I am a baby in cold water!

Cool, Minnesota just had its first day of summer as well, I think we still have ice on a few lakes.

Awesome scenery! I thought 45 degree water a few weeks ago was cold here in Nebraska!! Every time I went down I got an instant pounding headache. My 5mm hood was conveniently sitting in my storage room at home of course...
