Did you ever consider or try any of the heated clothing because I'm
considering some this winter down here in Texas and was wondering what you
thought of them if you have? Thanks

I remember when I was growing up as a kid during the 60's in Minneapolis, I
use to think that people in Texas used their swimming pools all winter long
and never saw any snow or cold. Around 1988 or 1989 I was flying a 727
into Lubbock, TX on Christmas day and they were having a downright blizzard.
I've also seen snow very hard in Amarillo. I'm guessing I was wrong about "
the swimming all winter long in their outdoor pools" or " riding their
motorcycles all winter long in T-shirts and flip flops....." <S>

I am going to try some of those heated gloves. I can keep my body warm with
layers, my hands are the ones that catches it. The ride today was nice.Just
cold in the morning.

30F here Coleman and I ride to work in a light jacket.
Natural insulation works fine for short period of time. It
was 45F here at lunchtime and I was riding in a polo shirt.

Actually I like the cold weather better than the summer hot weather, a lot
better.
Not only is it less crowded on my favorite roads, but there are advantages
for those of us with neurological issues that are affected by heat. Summer
is good for the daylight hours but other than that, there don't seem to be
many advantages.
But I don;t like commuting on our local freeways in the rain. Wet weather
seems to make idiots out of the morons, so I just hop in the cage and join
the moron-mob on the freeway.

Hey now! We Floridians ride in T-shirts, shorts, and flip-flops 8 months out
of the year. For another two months, we wear jeans, sneakers, and a sweater.
For worst two months, we put on our winter gear, heated and all. I mean, who
the hell rides without heated jackets, gloves, socks, and gloves when it's
under 70 degrees?

Hey Zach, you weather down there is super, but your riding logic sucks! (no
harm meant). As much as I love riding sportbikes, and I do love to ride
them, no way you would catch me in the gear you mentioned above. No way
under the sun.

I wear protective gear at all times, even I am just going two blocks to the
store..

Luck to you, and hope you be around to enjoy all that good weather too..

Polo shirt???????????????????????????
Light Jacket??????????????????????????

You got to be kidding me!!

Is this the same person that tells me that my ridin is off the hook, and got
the nerve to post that they ride in polo shirts and light jackets???

I don't believe you posted this Troy..

All jokes and kiddin aside, how can you, and expert in the field of
motorcycles post that you ride in polo shirts and light jackets? How you do
that?

Natural insulation?? Bullchit..

That is worst than me blasting though the curves..At least I wear FULL
PROTECTION at all times.

Can't wait to hear your flimsy excuse for this BIG BO-BO...
