I will send you some of my heat but the box might be a bit pricey:yikes:

 

[ARtraveler]

Time to put the liners in the riding pants and you should be good. Have run into some 30's so far and were still good. :thumbup:

 

[SNOOPY]

I'd move. :shocked:

 

[Silvervette05]

We were at 82 degree here in Tennessee

 

[Guesswho]

I wish

I'd move. :shocked:

Ha, its not an option for me, the AF is making me stay in cold @$$ MONTANA:banghead: I hate being cold!

 

[SNOOPY]

The older I get the more I don't like cold.

Good thing we only usually have 2 or less months of below 40's here.

 

[flamingobabe]

you know...when you want that heat...it's never there......89 degrees today....

 

[SpyderAnn01]

Perfect day for riding here but no Spyder. Hopefully the gorgeous weather will continue next week when my loaner arrives.

 

[boborgera]

Sounds like you guys were waiting all summer to complain about the cold..:roflblack:

 

[Bob Denman]

Cold weather riding??
A friend of mine gave me a set of insulated leggings that you just wrap around your calves; they secure with velcro. :thumbup:
Warm and toasty in 28 degree weather! hyea:

heat

my bike might not have the worst heat problem out of all of them. i took the side off and the master cylinder was good but i feel the heat on my right foot really bad. but i have what is called diabetic neuropathy, and it causes pain in the nerves in your body http://lyrica.com/DPN/understanding-diabetic-nerve-pain-and-symptoms so when i am riding i feel like my right foot is on fire so if you want my heat i will give it to you for free

John,
Neuropathy is your friend; you can probably stub a toe right sideways in the middle of the night :shocked:, and go right back to sleep... :joke:
I found that I had more nerve pain if I didn't keep close control of my Blood glucose levels... :thumbup:
Keeping my A1c readings in the low sixes really helps; I now only have diminished sensations without the shooting pains! :yes:hyea::yes:

my levels are in the 7,3 range and i take insulin and orals i hate diabetes that is why i complain so much about the heat on the bike. why own something i can't ride due to pain

 

[Bob Denman]

No sense in hating it; you've just got to find the best way to deal with it! :thumbup:
After all; it sure ain't going away! nojoke
I actually got some good news yesterday from my insulin pump supplier (Metronic). They've got a brand new pump coming out that will AUTOMATICALLY suspend the delivery of insulin if Blood Glucose reading drop to a predetermined level... :yes:hyea::yes:
they've also improved the accuracy of the sensors that monitor BG levels by 31%
They're getting closer and closer to creating the "closed-loop "system that we've been dreaming about!! :2thumbs:

I get the new pump in a couple of weeks! :yes::2excited:
Approaching 49 years as a Type-I diabetic...

i am considered type 2 and the insurance will not pay for a pump. but the new one they are coming out with is great. i checked into them and tried to get a pump but got a big no

 

[Bob Denman]

Has your endo done a C-Peptide test? If the results are bad enough; insurance HAS to pay for the pump... :thumbup:
Ask about it...

 

[otter28169]

I wear my snowmobile gear. I am thinking about getting heated grips though. Do you ride an RS, ST or RT?

 

[wftb]

i have a pair of snow pants i use occasionally this time of year .in another couple of weeks it will be time for the waterproof Cortech 2 piece snowmobile suit .i really need heated grips and i have not found any that are 2009 GS specific yet .saw some german made battery operated gloves the other day- 260.00 dollars though .going to try the grabber hand warmers first and see how they work .
