Dang, I'm behind on all the threads! Sorry, TC.
I wear a 3/4 helmet with shield. I'd love to wear a full-face helmet in the winter, but can't find one I like that fits! My neck stays wrapped and warm. I swear I have a short in my hands. I wear gloves just about all winter even if I don't need a coat. If my hands are cold, I'm miserable. I was thinking of even trying the cheapy battery-operated gloves out of the old-person catalog that I read at the doctor's office. But some new "NASA approved" gloves while shopping with JC and Terri the other night. They are supposedly designed to hold in body heat, blah, blah, blah. I bought two different pairs because Terri and I couldn't decide if the one pair would be too slick to use while riding the Vrod. They've been great in every day wear. I haven't ventured out on the bike yet. Maybe soon since I have several people FINALLY who want to test ride the Sporty!!
BTW, JC asked about you and Suzanne at dinner the other night. He enjoyed meeting you both on their first trip. We would have tried to get more people together on this trip, but it was a spur-of-the-moment trip and I found out they were in Atlanta while on my way to the airport in DC to come back to Atlanta.
Have a good weekend,
