Look big than I thought they would be.

I was doing a job for a woman, and noticed something outside where I had my tools set up, went out and this one had been stealing small tools, pilfering them under a bush, went to scare the critter off and get my tools back and it got down right mad hissing and showing me its teeth. hit it with a rock and it climbed up in this tree and got in the attack position!!!!

I've got the latest model Gerbings gloves, they are not near as bulky as the old ones BUT they are not as warm either. I put my Nolan full face w/ wind stop (better find yours AJ), Gerbing heated liner, gloves, heavy leathers and I'm good to about 30. Below that it is only my fingers that get cold. (must be dry though, no white chit or ice for me)

It's still in the original box. I just need to dig it out.

I commute year round in the northeast (PA) on my bike.  I have the electric hookups also and my gloves can't keep up by themselves, but by turning on the heated grips and the heated gloves I can ride as low as 7 degrees at 70 miles an hour.  That's the coldest I've ridden in.  However, after riding 50 feet on a solid sheet of ice covering the entire road and then sliding 25 more on the side I now only ride when I know the roads are dry and clear of major salt/cinders.  Thankfully that little mishap was with an old dresser a few years back and I walked away. If I've driven the road the day before and it was clear and the sky didn't pee on my parade I'm back on the bike and riding to work the next day.

I just love the looks my co-workers give me when I ride in and it's 10 degrees.  Since they think I'm nuts they leave me alone the rest of the day!  Works like a charm.

Now for the funny part.  I hate the cold!  I won't even go outside unless I have to when it's below 50.  I don't mind on the bike becasue the heated gear and FXRG outer wear keeps me as warm as my truck and it heats up faster.  One of these days I have to move to Florida!

Best Regards,
J-Carr

Above 105 the bike is parked.
Below 30 is definitely out of the fun zone as well.

[Talon]

Depends how far I'm riding. Usually around 40*, no windshield or fairing! I rode to work once when it was 30*, it's a 45 minute ride, cold!!!

[REGGAB]

Much above 100 or below 30 and I'm parkin'.  However I'm more likely to push the lower limit than the upper limit.  I'd MUCH rather be cold than hot.

Fortunately, here in Oklahoma it doesn't get extremely cold like some of you have to deal with in the northern tier of states.  If it does get really cold in Oklahoma it usually doesn't last but a day or so.

For me, I am good down to the lower 20's and up to about 110 degrees.

Great riding temps for now here in Oklahoma - Rode in short-sleeves all weekend.  Third week of November and upper 70's to 80 degrees over the weekend and for a couple more days, but wouldn't you know it - 4 day holiday weekend coming up and a cold front is going to drop us down to upper 40's and low 50's....Give me some Global Warming for the next three or four months!

Same here in North Alabama.  70 degrees today.  Yesterday was awesome too.  Had to stop and shed the sweater.  Hope this keeps up for awhile.

We have not been anywhere to push the limits like some of you folks.  I don't know what our limits would really be.  There is a difference between having to and wanting to.  We have become extremely spoiled.  All three four wheel vehicles we have, have heated seats.  And we use the heat feature, even if it is only chilly outside.  But heck, I use the heat feature in the lazyboy chair too.  I think if my bed had that feature, I'd use it too.  Jamey and I rode around 300 miles on Sunday, we both had on our underarmor, fleece under the leather and the turtle fur neck wraps.  We were pretty comfortable, temps were in the high 30s when we left home, warmed up to the mid 60s in the afternoon then dropped back down to the low 40s.  Jamey runs a little cold most times anyway, but he was chilly to touch, hands, face, body, but I had the benefit of heated grips, and I was down right warm, everywhere.  We had no other electric on.  We own it, just were not using it.

How does the cold affect Jamey's back?
Had our electric liner on Sunday and remember thinking this feels good on my back. (like a heating pad)
