    Default Legs are chilled... what?!?

    yes you read right. Rode my Spyder RTS into work today and even my right leg was chilled.
    So its not cold enough for full wilnter pants, I dont look good in assless chaps... :-) they dont look right on a spyder anyway...

    so what do you guys do to keep legs warm when riding in the 40's-50'?

    Slip the pants from your rain suit on. They're usually windproof and will provide extra insulation.

    Cool. Let me know how you like the brand you get. I usually go to the local "stout" shop so I can test fit to make sure everything fits where it should.

    I told the store owner the other day that it was my intent to quit shopping there. He was shocked and asked me if there was a problem. I said, "yep. About a hundred extra pounds!" He just smiled knowingly...

    Wear a pair of sweat pants either over or under your jeans.
