23F, -5C

And here I am riding to work. Wife's car is borked and she took the truck...

 

lol that's not cold.... I haven't got a car :lol:
Not nice though if you're not prepared &/or used to it. Have a safe one

 

I'm mostly OK. I have snow pants, a down vest, and a sweater to beat all sweaters made by my mother-in-law. Also have leather mitts with big fake fur gauntlets. Helmet has a double-pane snow shield.

The only two problems I had were boots - they are windproof, but not lined - and the air coming in under the helmet.

 

Haha knew mother in laws were good for something
I'd recommend a "Buff" or similar to use as a neckscarf, they're brilliant

 

That sweater has something like an 8 inch tall neck that folds over. Works good as a scarf.

 

gotta get yourself a balaclava. that'll help with the helmet. thats what i use for anything 30 and below. i can ride with the damn shield up.

 

throw on the snowmobile gear and ride! thats what ive been doing. no snow yet to break out the sleds yet

it seems your not as quick in the cold so be carefull out there

 

Now, the only thing left to do is to find the cash for all that fun stuff...

 

Sound advice, but slower reactions only apply if you're actually cold not if you're out in the cold but wrapped up & warm

That being said, I wonder if anyone's done an experiment to find the effects on reaction times/reduction in "feedback" from thickly padded gloves & the like :?

 

Check out this here in NZ minus 10c-20c (Not at the moment tho)

Be safe

 

Was out last night in the "cold" ~ 59* at around 9:00
used the grip and seat heaters on the FJR

 

2*f here this morning......NOT riding the bike in THAT------ even though the roads don't have snow on them anymore. Well, til the next snow comes in tomorrow......
