Gerbing/Harley gear. :2vrolijk_21:

I have the gloves, jacket and heated soles for my boots. A pair of long johns is all that is needed for the legs. There is enough heat coming off the motor. A thermostat to adjust the heat to your comfort and away you go. I will ride till there is ice or snow on the road. :2vrolijk_21:

If you want to completely bullet proof to the cold then put a full face on. I will wear one once temps go below or close to freezing.

If no ice On the road -ride.

American (HD) riders seem to be very much a bunch of fair weather riders. Guess that explains the trailers  :drink:

I would rather ride if I can.  We do ride year round.  Coming home from spending Christmas in Panama City Beach a few years ago, while getting gas in Birmingham, 29 degrees out, a lady asked me if I wasn't freezing, my reply, " only when stopped" 

Its very comfortable to ride into the 20's with good heated gear.

My Bikes nor my wife's bikes have ever been on a trailer.

We share a SUV, its a 12 with 35K on it.  We just traded her 13 SG with 42K on it in 18 months.  She also rides year round unless snow or ice on the road.  30's are very comfortable

I started out with Widder, back in the day.  Moved to Gerbings.  Just bought Warm And Safe and it is the best I have owned, by far.  The owner is a bit snarky on his web site about people copying his innovations, but, I can understand, if true.  A lot of other brands are/were his products private labeled - Including Powerlet and First Gear. 

They do offer a trade up program that is hard to beat.  You have to click on "Trade Up" to get the deal.

I ordered on a Tuesday and had it Thursday with free shipping option.

Do you have salt or liquid de-icers to deal with?
That is what puts the stop here for me. Once the chems go down, the bike stays in the garage till the spring rains.

X2!!! That/those chemicals are rough enough on "cages" damn if I want to get that stuff on my bike. Add to that the sand that is mixed in w/the salt on the roads and you find it while leaning hard in a curve. :shocked2:

Usually just those nasty liquid deicers in your picture.  Once in a blue moon salt too.  We only get the liquid deicers when snow is in the forecast.  I try not to ride when that is put down fresh.  Usually a day or two after its down we get a rain and its good to ride again.  I do have to wash the bike a lot in the winter to keep the crap off it.

We have too many nice days in the 30's or low 40's not to ride year round.

Ever since replacing a rusted out rear fender on my 2009 Street Glide, I no longer ride after the first salt goes on the road. I couldn't believe that after only 3 years the salty winter road conditions rusted the fender through, even after washing the bike after riding it.

Got the gloves (the Ultimate Touring model) and absolutely love them! Far superior to my Gerbings gloves for sure. Love the double heat in the thumb and the quality of the leather is great!

I also went to Warm and Safe heated gear.Gerbing no longer honors the lifetime warranty. So I traded the failed Gerbing stuff in.
