Re: Motorcycle Thread..
Cold is no reason to stop riding I just put my air shocks back n replacing the lowered springs in the rear, the lowering was great but the wife liked the air ride better. New handlebars (already looking for some new ones) these are a bit to much like a drag bar with extra pull back. Pics in a book are decieving. New speakers YEA, crappy HD OEM are gone. I now have treble and bass.
I am looking for new winter gloves. Looks alone do not tell you how well they actually look. Would love to see some scientific reviews on motorcycle gloves. My old ones ride well, just not warm anough and the idea of heated ones seeems like a lot of hassle.

Re: Motorcycle Thread..
I have never had a lot of luck with gloves that are not made specifically for motorcycles. Usually they are not articulated enough for long rides. Plus, what works for a 20 min down hill run will not work for 1 - 5 hours in the cold on 2 wheels. The ones I have are "ok", the best I have found so far, but the search continues.

Re: Motorcycle Thread..
After reading till the eyes are blurry on the internet, I will be ordered these today.
Tourmaster Winter Elite I may try a glove inner liner this year. A lot of people seem to have luck with them, but I hate bulk..... newenough.com is an excellant place to shop from and I have had superior experience with the Tourmaster products. They peform exactly as one would expect, made by mototrcycle people for those who ride. Winter is: Firrst Gear HT Overpants - I do not like the look of the latest version, but damn they perform. Warm and dry Tourmaster Jacket similiar to the Flex series (again the new stuff doesn't look as good). Schampa balacava (with long bib) toasty Fleece lined blue jeans in the 20's and below. I can usually ride in the 30's and into the 20's comfortably with some clothing layering. It's the gloves that kick my a$$ (long rides get the Walmart hunter chem heater inserts). We will see what these new ones will do.

Re: Motorcycle Thread..
A trick we use around here for winter proof hands are latex exam gloves under our winter gloves. Really help hold in the heat without the bulkiness of liners. I use them when I'd golf in the 20's.

Have had some mornings here already where it's below 30 when I left for work (5 am), and while my hands got cool, they were never cold. I'm imagining that' probably colder than it gets by you in the dead of winter. Can't speak to the rain proof cause I haven't got caught in the rain with them yet, but if you can find a dealer with them near you I'd check them out. |

Re: Motorcycle Thread..
It was 42* when I rolled out this morning - not to bad. Still using the chaps, the warm clothes will have to be broke out shortly though.

Re: Motorcycle Thread..
I hate reading this thread. After my injury a few years ago I have not been able to get on a bike. I have been looking at trikes. Has anyone here given the Can Am spyder a spin?
