None BUT... I think if I throw on an extra sweatshirt under the jacket I should be good to go. We're experiencing a heatwave right now, it's up to 0*F from the low of -9*F so why not?

Attachment 611092

BTW, a salesman I know out at IndyWest Harley Davidson rode his bike into the dealership yesterday morning. The ice, snow, 40 mph winds, and -9*F temps be damned. The man is an animal when it comes to riding rain/shine/snow, you name it. He did break down and park it inside yesterday to be sure it would start when he headed home. He usually just parks it in the parking lot, I've seen it sitting there with 3-4" of snow on it.

Christmas Eve Ride

Started at 23 degrees and finished 183.8 miles later at a balmy 28 degrees.

















Back home safely ready for the next ride.

Picked the bike up from the dealer this morning after having the forks serviced. Eight mile ride home @ 10F. A little cool.

You didn’t ride enough to get the fork oil warmed up!

Merry Christmas

104.7 miles today. Went to the dealer for recall, then just roaming around backroads. 36 degrees when I left and 41 when returned. Heated gear and soft lowers made it avery comfortable.

I don't normally ride below 50 degrees, but it got to 49 and I said close enough. Only rode 14 miles, but better than nothing.
