Already 80 here, suppose to get to 93, but they said that yesterday when it got to 97! I'm not ready for any 40 temps, but I'm ready for the 60's!!

Yep just bought the heated gloves on off switch and temp regulator. Last spring the gloves literally burned the skin on my hands without it. Not much left of this season for riding here in Michigan.

It is supposed to be about 5 degrees cooled tonight. I may have to break out the windshield! I will continue to ride until the snow flies! (and sticks).

BarJbar...no heated gear here, just leathers. I do need to get a new pair of gaunlet gloves. The current ones are not gaunlet and worn out.

Heated gear would be nice, but I don't want to go through the hassle wiring the bike for it.

40 here also. I passed one other bike today on the way into work. When it gets cold I move up to the leather jacket, thicker gloves and the 3/4 helmet. If my hands get a little cold I just put them on the engine and soak up the heat thru the gloves.
