I don’t want to derail this thread, but I’d enjoy reading a synopsis of your heated gear....knowing you consistently ride in low temps.

 

Mine is all Gerbing, bought in 2010. Pants are outer pants worn over jeans. Good for down to 28 or so with just jeans under them, low teens with long johns. Then I use a jacket liner, under it is a long sleeve tee and a regular shirt, then a middle weigh jacket over it again good to 28 or so. Put long johns under it and again into teens. Then heated Gerbing G3 gloves good to 32 or so, add heated grips and teens are fine. Very comfortable to ride in 20's. My wife has same set up for her bike. We have left our house at 18 degrees to ride to FL more than once. Nice as it gets warmer, turn the heat down. Keep doing so until its off, then till gear alone is to warm. It sure extends the use of our bikes to year round.

Didn't ride yesterday mostly sleet and crap. Snowing right now

 

Thanks Dave.

12v plug-in system to your bikes?

 

Rode 200 miles Saturday with group of 30, mix of Spyders, and Slingshots, me only bike. Went to Nav A Gator in Arcadia, great place.

 

Yes, 12v plug in.

Snowing so I didn't ride.

 

rode 95 miles first ride on the 131 upgrade.

 

I am happy to say that I finally was able to get out and ride today - 110 miles

 

100 miles yesterday, it was cold for here about mid 40°F for the morning ride in the 60s on the ride home. About 39°F when I left home this morning, that seems to be the lower limit with my gear and 50 mile ride. SUpposed to be cold tomorrow as well, might be tempted to take the Suburban and the heated seat.

 

I only rode about 95 miles today. It was beautiful outside - currently 70* but a bit windy.

 

No roadkill? Cross thread points?
