Cold weather

Feeling the change in temps, dipped into the 60s here. Preparing for winter riding, trying out these off road guards to cut the wind on my hands. The gloves only work down to mid 40deg temps, being a wuss from the flat lands, thought I'd give these a try?

I live in Florida and have had the temps drop into the mid 30's at night (thank God I don't have to ride home at 1 AM anymore). It was cold!

So I understand what your going through. It's the wind that is the worst.

OK, a little video I made last winter. My car was in the shop but I had a dentist appointment, so I had to ride, but this was not a normal thing to do.

Cold Weather?

For yrs , I lived & rode in NH. I finally stopped riding in the winter. I set my personal bike up for Drag-Racing & I had trouble with traction on a dry road , never mind a winter road. Try those heated gloves! I put 80mi on one New Years day. My hands got so cold that I clutched with my whole hand (palm) because I could not bend my fingers (youth & to be cool-stupidity ) The temporary heating hunting gloves might also work. Good Luck,Irish
