Decided to skip the heated gear... that shit's for pussies... (read people who have a bigger stator than I do)
gonna get some of the Moose Racing Paws Gauntlets
I think I'll be warm enough... I'm sweating in my jacket with it's liner and a t-shirt at 45* so as long as my hands stay warm... I'll be fine... I think I'll pack a bunch of those disposable hand warmers Rae mentioned (great minds...)
got some new waterproof/wind proof pants and wind proof base layer top and bottom from first gear on order (polar fleece backed)
only other thing would be my feet... as my boots are NOT water proof... but I have a fix for that... they don't let water in while riding... but the stitching where the sole attaches to the boot leaks... so silicone it is! won't look pretty.... but neither do I so what ever.
Not packing much stuff... as I'll ship it up to keep my pack small... mostly just pack emergency stuff... an MRE or two... a dry set of clothes... tools... a flare or 6... extra batteries... ya know the norm.
got to order:
an HID light to increase visibility on both sides.
the hard wire kit for my GPS
... that's it I think.
ohh... gotta change the oil... and a kit to do it again at my bro's.
