ITS 29 DEGREES AND IM STILL RIDIN!

OH YEAH!

I just put my heated Gerbings suit (all components except the socks) on and installed it into the '12 (WHAT A PAIN IN THE ASS - thanks Kawi for the '12's wonderful battery placement). It is increadable! The bike feels SOOO much more powerful in the cold air. I had to chill a bit though, I was scared of ice. I gotta go relax for a bit... I'm taking a longer trip tomorrow - NEVER THOUGHT I'D BE RIDING IN LATE DECEMBER!!!!!!

Riding is supposed to be fun for me

And 29 degrees ain't no fun for me! Maybe if you had the heated suit like you do? YOU'RE THE MAN!!!!

Been there done that. I try and ride at least once a month No Matter What. The coldest that I have gome riding is 17F and that was a short ride of 27 miles and my fat ass was a freezing. I feel for ya. How was the visibility, every time that I go riding at the lower temps my visor tends to fog up at stop signsand slow speeds.

me too!

It was mid 30's and i had to go. thermals, sweats and leathers made the ride enjoyable. I must admit i was a little timid in the curves.
