    I won't ride if it gets below 60. Still, I can ride "year 'round" here, but only a few days in the coldest winter months. That's because I'm muleheaded about certain things. I don't like gloves or leathers or heated anything.

    You can ride all year long in NC. We get some of April thru some of November. Not a lot.

    I don't understand why you wouldn't where gloves or leathers? No offense josh, as we get older we should get smarter or perhaps you've never fell off your bike whether accidentally or not. I wish I could convince you to wear leather and gloves especially.

    Can I help it if Peter Fonda's a sissy :p? His leathers and gloves didn't help much when he got shot gunned off his motorcycle. Ted Williams was the last batter to hit over .400. Did he wear batting gloves? I just ride.

    If no gloves was good enough for Steve (who wasn't sissy) then it's certainly is good enough for you Josh.

    If you don't ride below 60F you'll be OK, just don't fall over and if your posing for the camera gloves ain't cool.

    Knew a guy once who never wore gloves either. I wished I had a picture of his hands after he went down. We called him meat hooks after that. But up to then he looked cool just like Steve McQueen
