What do you mean Winter is coming, If your from LA, AZ, VA, TN or any other southern State, That would be T-Shirt weather for me. I'm 62 and went for a ride last night in just a helmet, jacket, and gloves and it was 38 degrees outside. Up here in Northern Wisconsin you get used to the cold and in like January when it can get down to -35 to -40 degrees nothing helps. We have 3 seasons up here, (July, August, and Winter) You either learn to ride in cold weather up here before the snow stays on most roads, or put it away for 7 months.
Most up here just wear Snowmobile suits and gear.

 

Pioneer, I lived across the lake from you in Michigan. That's why I now live in Arizona.

 

I here ya Whaap, We are trying to sell our home and move to NE Tennessee, Can't take the long cold winters anymore and can't afford it in tourist country anymore.

 

Gerbing is the company that makes all of the HD heated gear. Now, you can buy the liners, socks, etc etc with the HD logo on them (which can't be seen), or you can buy the same damn thing for about 20% - 30%less from Gerbing.

 

I'm in TN, and went on a 200 mile interstate ride last Feb. When I left the house it was 17 degrees and 3 inches of snow on the ground. Still a little bit of snow on the roads. If you can make those kinda rides in a t-shirt..you're one tuff SOB. Oh, but I do see you have a weenie shield on your bike. I didn't have one of those last winter. Maybe that will help me this year.

 

Nice warm and waterproof and multilayer gloves I've just got from Costco - "head". For less then $20. looks very solid, like HD ones for about a $100. can not find them on website though.

 

Lots of good ideas.....Thanks for the suggestions
