TimC 259 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparkie 154 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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? 😕 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But if it rains enough to clean them off you are good to go. 😉 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
