Damn its getting cold

The Canadians sent us some cold weather!!! Western NY is getting snow. I'm not ready for this crap. I wish the wife would just hive up on her job so we can get the heck outta here.
Cycle Gear finally opened a store here on Long Island. I'm gonna try to ride there next week and check it out.

Yup...Big change around here the last few days...

I got plenty of cold weather gear but I still want to check out the store. Shipping the bike will cost almost a grand both ways. That isn't gonna happen. Still working too so Florida has to wait til next year.

19 degrees this morning................

Yep, 25* and hard frost, finally caught up with us here... but, gonna be 55* and sunny later and 60* and sunny tomorrow, PERFECT leather weather...

Leather weather . . . I like that, MC . . . 48 here right now. Too cold for me, leather or not . Fatboy, next week is supposed to get warmer all up and down the coast . . . we may see 70s here.

Steve, check out the electric vests and gloves. Heard good things about them. ........pooosy!

Have you used these?

Tried to mow grass one more time, engine on snapper locked up... said screw it I'll go take a little ride. Around 50*, went south through Lake Lure, then up Saluda Mtn through Hendersonville. Only about 80 miles, but fun...

Wife has a Tourmaster heated vest with a dual control..hooks right into the battery tender. She loves that. She use to wouldn't ride in anything under 78-80 degrees. When we went out Sunday it was 45 degrees and she was good.

They work suprisingly well...eliminates need for a full face helmet and its holloween(skull face).

Went out yesterday for a 50 mile ride in upper 50s with a light wind. My core got cold and the hands and face weren't too hot, either. Think I'll try a neck condom on my ride to church this morning - got one around here someplace.

The denim motorcycle jacket I have looks cool, but doesn't block the wind very well. Today I'll try an insulated jacket I have that will break the wind better and has elastic cuffs and waistband to keep the wind out. Will wear long johns, too.

Maybe I'll try some leather gloves today. It's probably gonna be in the upper 40s/lower 50s to church this morning. Trying to lower my temperature threshold so I can ride more this fall/winter. But I will NOT go with the heated stuff. That's for all you old arthritic geezers - wait - I am one LMAO.

I use a neck warmer (tube) as well, layer under jacket... issue for me is fingers once gets to lower 40s. Good with winter mc gloves to upper 40s, maybe mid 40s if sunny, then finger tips get cold...guess I am getting old.

Ended up not wearing gloves and was okay. Couldn't find the neck condom but I have a polar fleece jacket that zips right up to my chin. Put that under the other jacket and it worked very well deflecting the wind off my throat. One of these days I may have to break down and get a leather motorcycle jacket . . . .
