    Heated Gear

    Time to take the plunge. Enough of being hardcore. I'm going to wire that shite up along with the heated shield helmet from my snowmobile, some tire chains, winter tire air, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh bring ont he goddamned snow.


    TheIglu mentiond that Moto Mkt had liners on sale for 169 and heated gloves for 60. I'm all over that shite.

    But when we ride very fast motorcycles, we ride with immaculate sanity. We might abuse a substance here and there, but only when it's right. The final measure of any rider's skill is the inverse ratio of his preferred Traveling Speed to the number of bad scars on his body. It is that simple: If you ride fast and crash, you are a bad rider. If you go slow and crash, you are a bad rider. And if you are a bad rider, you should not ride motorcycles.

    Gebring it's called. I have been lookign for a few years and aftert this past sundays ride to VT I am getting some. Once you get that chill in the small of your back your done for. At least with the vest you can crank it up and warm yourself back to life. The possibilities seem endless now. Ice fishing, Football games, anythingoutdoors and cold. Get a MC battery and a cord and your warm all day ice fishing.

    Bahahahhahaa... never thought of the ice fishing angle. For that I always go with the "illusion of warm" (ie, large quantities of single malt scotch and coffee)

    What are you gonna do for an accessory socket on the bike? Do they sell the wiring kits there too? (not a bad price for the Gebring stuff too)

    I'd call on the gloves. Not positive about the price. That's what I "remember".

    I'm sure they had the jacket liners (not just vests, arms too) on sale for $169.

    If I get some bills paid off this weekend then I'll be down for a full set including pants!

    Group buy anyone?

    This will be my 3rd year with my Gerbings and you'll love them.

    I highly suggest taking the whole plunge, though. I have the gloves, socks, jacket and pants. If I had to drop anything, the pants would go first... but if you can afford to get it all, its a great feeling to be completely toasty regardless of the outside temps.

    Unless you're going full core RandyO style you may not need the whole set of gear.

    With just a jacket I was *fine* in the 30s. I rode once last winter when it was 17 and that was OK around town.

    Biggest thing is to cover your body completely and keep the wind out. When it's really cold and you've got the heated gear on, any place on your body that gets wind on it feels like a radiator sucking the heat out of you.

    all I have is an electric vest, and heated grips, and hand guards, stay away from snowmobile gloves if you are going on long rides. they are designed with thumb throttle in mind, the excess insulation on the palms fatigues your hand

    Hippo Hands? work real good but not with bar end mirrors

    I will go out and ride all day in winter down to 20°, once it gets colder, I limit my rides to a tank of gas or less, I always fill up just before I get home so it is parked with a full tank of gas minus 3 miles

    I have discovered that electric vest & grips alone are not enuf, below 20°. the bike is running SO GOOD at that temp, all you want to do is twist the throttle, you quickly start to cool off at 80 mph, wind chill is prolly in the -50 range.

    I want to get a snowmobile helmet, better insulation, not sure if the heated visor is necessary, I've never had any problem with the visor on my Arai,

    below freezing, you want to think about tires too, most rubber turns to hockey puck material.

    Randy do you have any suggestions? I've been considering rain tires but they are mad expensive.

    Anyone have any?
