Cold weather riding

[Rider70]

Bought used heated gear off Market place and had to try it out. Pants, jacket, gloves. $225. Took off on a 21* day for a 200mi drive to the kids house. Love heated gear. Toasty warm the entire way. This is after arrival, when the temp rose to a balmy 40*.

The only way to be able to ride all winter out my way is with heated gear...

Yeah, heated gear is the bomb. Switched over to it about 8 years ago. Can't believe I spent decades layering up and thinking I was "warm".

btw, your TG is looking really good with your ceramic coating.

I also love my heated gear........... "although my "blacky" has been put away already, for her winter's hibernation period".... We just had a foot and a half dump of snow!

Sooooooooooooooooo out comes my snow skies, and off to the mountains I go.................

Think snow!!!

thanks. Can’t believe it is so shiny. Looks like a mirror in the sun. Also bring the gold metal flake to the surface. Very happy.

Glad to see other winter riders posting their rides on the forum.

I did my first BBB ride yesterday. It ended up a balmy 45* by the afternoon. We rode 67 miles for some great food. The guy that came with me said this will probably be his last ride of the season. My next ride will be my FYAO ride on Jan. 1st.

Hope we don't get too much snow.

We thought being bikers we are rough, tough and hard to bluff

In my old age I do not like being cold any more

Same here. Or wet, or hot, or buffeted around by strong wind, or being on a crowded interstate highway jockeying for position with 18 wheelers. Yikes when can I ride, lol.

I remember when I thought anyone who rode a bagger was a whimp ... LOL ... now I'm on three, full face helmet, heated gear, pulling a trailer to haul my junk ... guess that's what they call the "Golden Years"

Hey Fuzzy. I think you're like me . . . nothing to prove. Been there, done that. Cold, hot, wet, etc., etc. We don't have to prove nuthin' to nobody.

Bill that is a sign of old age. I have no problems riding in temps, all the way down to the 60s

Then buy heated gear.

I hate being cold too, but that isn't going to stop me from riding. I feel like a piece of bread in a toaster - even when it's below 0*.

PS. you're in Florida how can you complain about being cold!!!!

There's a gal in our chapter just like that. She won't ride unless it's 70* and sunny.

When my Brother would come up from Florida he would complain he's cold if the temps were 60*

I think the warm weather down there thins their brain cells out a little.........
