TimC Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 That's pretty crazy, Dutchy! 🙂 My cut-off is basically 40 degrees F. Below that it's just not worth it to me getting so cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkie Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 I have a heated jacket and gloves. I'll ride in any temp, as long as the roads are clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No heated gear for me, but my new bike came with heated grips (which I should have installed on my VFR years ago) and a Powerlet, so maybe at some point I'll get a heated vest or jacket. I can do my short work commute without heated gear. But during these cold but not technically freezing days, I have to decide whether I want to take a new bike out on roads that already have some salt and other de-icing crap on them. I didn't mind so much on my old VFR, but a new 2020 bike? 😕 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if it rains enough to clean them off you are good to go. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
