Had sun and dry road here Christmas Eve day.... took her out for 1/2 hour..... 21 degrees ambient..... no heated gear... was fine. Ya gotta have the right gear to do that.... If it had been above 30, I would have had her out for over an hour....
Crap... you guys talking that you won't ride if it's under 50 or 40.... you're pulling my leg... right?

-14F or C? Never the less, it's still damn cold. I wouldnt want salt residue getting onto any part of my bike, and washing it off in these cold temps is out of the question.
I've seen people in heated outfits that fit your description JaysonL. How they can manuever their bikes with thick heavy gloves is a mystery to me. No thanks.

You guys who are riding in the cold temps aren't bad *****, your idiots. Find someone to tell this crap to who thinks it's cool, not me. Just to take it for a spin and brag isn't a ride, it's just to say yeah I ride year round, I'm a real bad biker man. Frozen hands and body, yeah that's real smart.

I can still operate the presets on the radio, and all thumb switches on the EG with the G3 gloves on.
The heated outfits take the bulk away.

I'm always amused by people who think you can buy a personality or attitude.
