I fixed it for you.
I wonder how long the battery lasts? I would almost like something like that for your hands Instead of being plugged in.

Ted, they're supposed to last 6 hrs on high / 10 on low. Ok for me as I steal, I mean I get free batteries from work.
That wormgear, I mean warmgear stuff looks a lot like gerbing's for a bit less $. I really like the looks of and padding on the gloves.

Thanks but what am i doing wrong? Come on, teach a man to fish! I just copy and paste it into the reply, right? Maybe not. That's ok, if the explanation is a PITA, just keep feeding me fish.

You have to surround the link with url. Go edit your post and look at the urls in square braces.

Look at this link to see how you have to form the URL --
Look where it says " URL BB Code Format:"
http://www.bikeland.org/board/faq.php#bbcode
Most boards add the code automatically; this one doesn't so you have to add them. Look at the example I pointed out --

Well it is really winter here now. The wind is howling and they are expecting 10 feet of snow up in the mountains here this weekend. Which could relate to a couple of feet here.
I fuckin hate winter.

Not trying to rub it in but...Yesterday morning It hit a low for this winter of 29F and I was out riding in it for about an hour just to test my electric gear. Which worked very well. Now forecasting 76 tomorrow and 81 Sunday. I Hope I get a chance to use it again

I'd say Fuck you too but mother nature beat me too it. No wonder you get BJ's by the fireplace. You must also eat, sleep, work and shit there too. Nice in the summer there though, eh? Remember summer?

So what else is there at 170+ HP outta the crate these days?
My brother had a Thundercat, that was around 170 hp with some tweaks...traded it for a Mountaincat...with the longer track, was fun to ride across a frozen lake, and man was it fast...

I'm gonna look that one up on Webster's -- been so damn long, I forgot what it means. We've had record snow this year..most accumulation ever in the past 60 years. Usually no snow before Xmas and this year, we've had about 6-7 ft, all in a few short weeks. Hell, I used to ride all year long, at least once each month in the dead of winter, but this year, my last ride was early November. I'm dryin' out man --
You're right, M/N beat me to it 
Time to get that sled now -- gotta start shopping online now...
This is what I'm leaning towards so far:
MXZ-Renegade X

That sucker if nothing else looks bad ass.
You do realize the moment you get one the weather will dry up.

Ya, the Thundercat was one wicked fast machine -- but they don't make it anymore.

Dubious just got one -- says it's the fastest machine on the planet now from 0-90...only an 800 with 151 HP, but a 2-stroke @ only 430 LBS, and is as fast as a ZX14 till 90. Yes, of course I realize that winter will be gone once I get one...

Well I could use one now, just in the last hour the it has snowed 6" and it isn't slowing down. In the Sierras (only 25 miles away) they expect it to snow 10' this weekend. Did I mention that I fuckin hate winter?
