just because no one is really talking about the riding. for the first time today i clicked on unread topics.. and only 3 populated. i have to admit, my bike is going in the shop tomorrow til hopefully March. i doubt i touch it, but just save money for the Cobra Air and Performance for spring break.

hope some members keep modding.. so i can have some ideas til then.. (mind you, i will be here daily thought)

I can't wait to get home .. unfortunately it will be the dead of winter... I WILL STILL RIDE!!!

The weather has not been cold here in the Poconos where i am but the rain seems to never stop. Hoping I will get a few more rides in before the real cold sets in.

SFCMcGan, Get home safe. I spent 10 yrs in the Army. Kinda miss it but really don't.

Bozz,,,Poconos?, not really that far from you. Not that cold yet, but the wet leaves on the ground really suck. Oh well, it's ATV season.

Yea, wasn't thinking about the leaves. Seems like most of them just fell in the last couple of days. The roads will start to get dangerous real fast here, especially if they are wet. Hmm, was thinking about buying an ATV for the kids. Maybe it's time to get two of them...

yup, out here in NM mornings are getting pretty brisk (like low to mid 40s). i'm pretty geared up, just need to find some good gloves that don't cause too much loss of dexterity.

Was pretty cold this morning in central texas. 45 degrees. I was bundled up pretty good. I did a lot of thinking about heated grips on the ride. My hands are the only thing I can't seem to keep warm.

The ride home will be awesome. ~75 degrees.

Try some snowmobile gloves. Might be hard to find in NM but I guess online always works. That is what I am wearing in MN. The are neoprene made by FXR.

great idea, just need something thin and warm, guess i could always wear my silk glove liners but I'd hate for anybody to see me wearing em, look like pantyhose for your hands, got em from Orvis

 

[dliszews]

Hmmmm....silk glove liners.....should we pursue this further???

 

[middleagecrisis]

I have the liners too but mine aren't silk. I really don't think they help that much. May look into some kind of detachable hand shield.

no, like midlife said, they don't make that much of a difference with wind, only when you're standing still, already inside warm, etc...

Rode in just a tee shirt today 8). Yet another reason why New England is the best.
