Putting the ice tires on my dirtbike tomorrow....
If I could talk myself into a decent sidecar, I would ride when it is icy out.
Might be time to get a Ural lol.
Thinking something more like this.Quote:

I have 2 heated vest (BMW / Gerbing) sitting here, along with other winter riding gear for those interested. ALMOST FREE AMIGO.
What do you recommend for heated gloves guys? If my fingers weren't frozen maybe my vagina wouldn't get so cold.
I sell all the major brands, and I find that the Gerbings or the Firstgear ones work the best (I'm riding Firstgear currently). The Tourmaster ones worked pretty well for me for several years, but don't keep my thumbs as warm, which is an issue on my particular bike because of the lack of wind protection and the angle of the bars. Whatever you choose, I recommend leather for wind protection and abrasion resistance, passengers can get away with textile, since they are usually out of the wind.

Heated grips will spoil a fair weather rider. WE had foul weather for many a year. Riding beemers with the hg's was a whole nother level of cold weather encouragement.Quote:

I think the key to cold weather riding is wind protection. The Effective Wind Chill at 15 degrees and 70 mph is a number I don't care to contemplate, but is perfectly liveable with the right gear.
