Reminders that winter is coming

Gas Man · 11-03-2010, 12:08 AM

Yesterday I winterized the Nightster and today I got it cleaned/covered and tucked away. And you can see that the HHRSS fits in the garage very well.
I have been riding all week to work on night shift. But tonights 36* out (going lower later) really shows not only in my breathe, but in the exhaust and frost on my seat.
Plus I have had the wife, mom, and neighbor wife all tell me I'm crazy for riding in this. But I figure screw it, it will be snowing soon, might as well get in some of the final miles in 2010.

What's your reminder?

I ride year long...but riding 23 miles from Jan-Mar in CA can be cool....like 55 degrees cool. lol

I also have been riding. However, the only that gets cold is the outside of my fingers. I would like to get some heated gloves. Any suggestions? I have seen some but they mostly have the heating element in the palm of the hand and not over the back of the hand where its really needed to stop the chill of the wind from penetrating in.

I haven't rode in about 6 or 7 weeks. Maybe more.
