I was so bundled up today, I felt like I had one of these on:

I rode in this morning and the temp where I lived was 30 degrees (bank clock). It was cold but I just can't afford to shell out 300.00 for Widder Electric gloves/vest + the connections to piece them all together.

I am thinking about 1) making my own electric gear or 2) just purchasing the gloves since that is what really gets cold on my rides into work. My jacket does fine down into the 30's it is just my hands and feet that seem to get really cold.

Yup, I rode this morning too, I know how you feel Ridge. I work in the foothills of Lakewood but live in downtown Denver so that 80 mph ride down 6th really starts to hurt at about 10 miles in. My bike didn't want to leave my living room. After not starting it for 4 days, I didn't even have to pull the choke though because she was inside.

Thunder, that's why they tell you never to spoil them by letting them in the house. Next she'll be up on the furniture.

It's in the 50's today! I'm heading south to pick up my new WS650 Kawasaki fork gaitors.

Nice, I'm leaving work early to go ride.........who know's where.
Glad to hear about the fork gaiters, I have the BMW style. They are the missing piece that will make your Bonneville stand out from the rest, trust me.

I hear ya Ridge.

I was out last weekend with layers up the wazoo and my new cold weather pants. The cold actually didn't bother me but as I was riding past the snow on the side of the road I just came to the conclusion that something was wrong with this picture.

When I got home, I yanked the battery, added the fuel stablizer and said good-night for the winter.

Life goes on...
