Also went out for a few hours this afternoon, mainly to test out some cold weather gear I bought. Parts of me were comfortable, parts were cold. Should have added an additional layer under my jacket.

Cold Ride
Did a cold ride today also. 28 degrees when I left the house at 8:00, but with layered cloths and heated grips I felt great. What's the coldest temp. that you have ridden in? Mine was 22(f) degrees, when I was asked to do a Blessing for the ground breaking of a new Harley dealership a few years ago, so I rode my bike about 25 miles to get there. Dang, that was cold!
So, in case you didn't know it, 'Winter Sucks!!!'

I dont know what the temp was, the temp gauge on my GL1800 woud not register, the iPod mounted on the tank bag quit working and the screen on the GPS went blank when I started in southern Illinois and the temp gauge, GPS and iPod didnt start working again until I got to Dalton Ga and stopped at a gas station and parked in the sunshine. Gerbing jacket, pants, socks, gloves and heated grips and seats, nose and tips of my fingers got cold and seat got too hot. Discovered Hippo Hands later and have not had cold hands since then.

Same here, don't like to be wired up. Today I tested battery operated gloves. Even when i had heated grips with the spyder, my finger tips would freeze. First day out with the battery heated gloves, turned them on once my fingers started to get cold and didn't think about them the rest of the ride. Saving judgment for a colder day though as is was 45 today. Everything else was good to go.
These are the gloves i'm trying. Very soft and comfy..... took about an hour before my fingers started getting cold so turned on the heat.
anyone have any experience with these gloves?

Cold Weather Riding
I have a question about cold weather riding. I have an RS Spyder. Do you need handguards or handshields on the bars to block the wind if you have heated grips or heated gloves so the hands will stay warm?

Rode the last seasonal ride with our CMA group today. Rode about 150 total. It was in the low 40's when I left the house. The sun came out about an hour later and it warmed up pretty nice for Indiana in November. I was layered up and used the heated grips most of the ride. Got a little cold fighting a headwind on the way home and the sun went away. 10 minutes after I go home it rained briefly. All in all a good day with a bunch of good people.

Have wired Gerbing gloves and love them. Found that not wearing glove liners works best. Hands stay toasty warm.

If you don't slow down, they can't catch you..
If you don't give up, they can't win.
What a long strange journey its been.

Never cared for wired clothes, tried this for the first time. Warm & comfortable. Betting I could even use it for snowmobiling.
