Sounds like you will at least be able to ride although probably have to take it easy.

I had only the motorcycle as transportation. I even rode to the Dr's office on the bike. But I did leave the long sleeved shirt and helmet on the cycle
I did ride very conservatively. I highly suggest you ride extremely easy until you are very comfortable with your riding and especially with your grip strength. |

Been sneaking the bike out on every dry day I can, just need to be careful of all the salt and sand. I also notice that my tires don't grip well on cold pavement.

Driving cars in competition has helped me understand just how sensitive tires are to surface temp. I have an old Yamaha with a single disc front and rear drum. The first time I took it out on a really cold day, I tried the brakes and the rear locked up really fast. I also noticed it pushes more so as long as I ride mellow, I am fine.
