The electric gear hooks up to the bike battery. No need for a trailer!

 

You guys need to calm down. Just my opinion. Who cares how many miles you put on your bike, what you wear or what time of the week you ride? Enough with the labels already! Everyone here loves their Harley and loves to ride! Someone asked for advice on cold weather gear....for some reason this string has now broken down to what people can afford to buy, and what a poser is etc.

Relax people.

 

hey how did you get my picture.

 

45 degree's I wear boot's , blue jeans , short sleave shirt , light wind breaker (maybe ) and sunglasses.

You may have mistaken me for one of those less then 10,000 miles
a year R.U.B.s,Yuppies or Possers that think they know what
motorcycling is about while their out just trying to look cool but
really have no clue at all... (you know, Marlin Brando wanna be's)
playing Mr. Dress up on weekends!

We met plenty of Harley riders out there freezing their butts off wearing leather riding gear trying to look cool while freezing, I see no point in this, but each to their own! We heard many wives of these Harley riders ask their husbands (why do we have to freeze when there is electric heated gear like their using to stay nice and warm??)

Not one had a good answer!!







Why do you assume they are trying to look cool by wearing leather ?? All I own is leather so that is what I wear. sooo sorry I can't be cool like you and have a trailer behing me to haul a battery around so all my "cool" nifty elecric stuff can work. I get a strong feeling you don't ride for the love of it but for other reasons....................

Let us know how it works out for you??? .... "LOL"

 

Just to make sure the horse is really dead here is my two cents.

40 and below...I have no windshield, no body fat and ride a Softail Standard

Warm boots that have Gortex
loose fitting jeans or cammie trousers w/ poly pro bottoms.
t-shirt
long sleeve t-shirt
poly pro top
wool button-up shirt
surplus wool neck gaiterNeoprene face cover.
leather jacket w/ leather vest
beanie cap
gauntlet gloves w/ wind and rain blocker liner


Layers...layers...
loose fitting good...
....tight fitting will leave you cold.

My oilbag keeps my **** slightly 'warm' and the #2 headerpipe works when stopped for red light, just don't burn yer gloves!

Whatever works, works!

FIDO!!!

 

Full face helmet or bandana around the face and neck. My schott jacket with a tshirt and a fleece that covers my neck too. My sidi on road sympatex boots and maybe jeans with some long underwear. A windshield will help a lot, but I don't use one anymore. I guess I'd rather look cool than be toasty now. I have what I call Harley brain damage.

 

I put my hands on the cylinders(wearing gloves)to warm them up.I dont have any of that fancy heated outer wear,etc-.
