Had a good ride yesterday. Thermometer read as low as 45ºF. After about 2 hours my hands were cold, but not that debilitating can't take you mind off it cold. They did a good job of stopping the wind. Overall, I'm happy with the gloves. They are a little bulky, but not so much that you can't feel the controls.
I bought a pair of the Five WFX Tech gloves. They seem to be well made. Now It's not cold enough here to be able to give a report. I'll post something when I can give a good review.
I'm looking for recommendations for colder weather gloves. Specifically, what works well at highway speeds at sub 45˚F? Coming from a BMW RT, I'm missing the wind protection and the heated grips. Thanks.
Thanks very much for that tidbit of knowledge......Saved me from tearing the bike apart looking for the reason my headlights, all of a sudden, didn't turn on!!
I don't think your too picky. I like my stuff how it came from the factory. I'd complain to the dealer about their shoddy workmanship and then I'd probably post up a negative review of the business on social media.
I signed up for the 18th annual 100,00 ft. ride put on by the BMW Motorcycle Club of Colorado. Going to happen on Aug. 5th. I was wondering if anyone else from here is going?
I want to pass on some excellent customer service I received from Shoei. I dropped my Shoei RF 1200 about a year ago and the face shield ratcheting mechanism popped out of place. I had to take the mechanism off on both sides of the helmet to get it to go back into place. I had to break the rubbing blocks on both sides in order for ratchet to go back into place. The face shield worked as it should, but it always bothered me. Fast forward to now. My daughter and I went to the MotoAmerica race in Utah last weekend. There was a Shoei representative there who works on the riders helmets. I asked him if he could look at my helmet. He said sure so i brought him the helmet. He not only replaced the mechanism on both sides of the helmet, he spent some time getting the adjustment exactly right so the face shield sealed on the rubber gasket perfectly. Then he popped on a brand new tinted face shield and said "here you go"! All at no cost! Fantastic customer service! That made me a Shoei customer for life. If you go to a race and see the Shoei awning, tell Kevin Tran "nice work".
Is anyone planning on riding there from the Phoenix area. My plan is to take a couple of days to get there, enjoy the racing, and maybe 3 or 4 days to get home. Probably ride into Wyoming and Colorado on the way home.
I've never been to that facility. Is there anything about it I should know? I've already bought the tickets!
