• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Batteries Do It??

Does anyone have any experience with battery heated gloves or battery heated glove liners??Doing a Web search I see that Brookstone sells battery heated glove liners for $50 and Hammacher Schlemmer sells imported battery heated gloves for $25.....any testimonials on either?? I rode today, wind chill low 20s....stayed warm except finger tips which became painful after 30 minutes .Really don't want to go the 12v route!!:dontknow:
 
When you find out, let me know. The fingers are the first thing to get cold on me too. I would be willing to go with the plug in gloves or liners but these that you've mentioned are much cheaper, if they work. :chat:
 
Gerbings....

I use Gerbings G3 gloves. If you are out there long enough you will be way better off with a 12V solution. Friday morning I left the house at 5:30 am and the temp was 21 Degrees. Hands and fingers stay nice and warm. After reaching a cruising speed of 65 on the highway, consistently for about 30 minutes I started feeling a few cold spots on the tips and the knuckle area.

Slow down to 50 for a few miles and it gives them a chance to battle the cold. I also use a Gerbings liner and I'm a big fan of their products.

21 degrees, BRRR.
I think 53 was cold here in CA, my finger was frozen.
And I am a transplant from WI..guess my blood thinned a bit in 13 years
 
We do the Gerbing gloves as well as the jacket liners. With the strong alternators on the LT and Spyder, we'll be warm. Pocket-size batteries would wear down methinks.
