Left for work this morning and it was -1C or about -30F!  My commute is only 25 minutes so I figure I can still take the Savage.  Left the thing OUTSIDE last night!!  Had to wipe frost off the seat and couldn't read the speedo cuz it was iced over!

Pulled the choke out and she started right up and then I pushed the choke back in after 30 seconds and I never had a problem.  She ran great all the way.

I was warm enough except for my hands.  I'm wearing snowmobile gloves and it's not bad for the first 15 minutes or so...after that, I couldn't shift properly.  I've tried snowmobile mitts and they were warm but I couldn't feel anything through them.

Any good ideas out there?  Anyone found a great pair of gloves?  How about those plastic covers out front of the grips?  Seems that would keep the wind off, anyway.

Just had a thought - if I am travelling in -1C weather at 60 m/hr. , what does that make the wind chill?

I really want to ride until the snow flies but I gotta get those fingers warmer![glow=red,2,300] [/glow]

I've been using a North Face liner inside my leather gloves and I was fine a couple of weekends ago for about 350 mile at 40 Degrees F. Don't know what it will feel like when it gets below freezing here. My commute is only 8 miles, so I really don't have time to get really cold. Plus my Savage sits inside at night so the bike itself is pretty warm. I'm guessing cold bars and hand grips don't help the situation. Anyway the liners don't really take much away from tactile sensation and are more flexible that the leather gloves anyway.

In Dallas it was a very nice ride in this morning at 72° F.

How come you can talk dirty but when I try it changes things to 'pregnant doggies' and puts in tons of ******?  Is that cuz you got 5 stars and I've only got 2??  

I'm getting used to playing second fiddle!  On my wedding night, I dropped my shorts and my wife could have either laughed or cried - fortunately, she laughed!

C'est la vie!

Bentwheel:  Sarnia, right??  I already saw that picture in the gallery....you need some chains or something!!  

I'm about 40 minutes east of you, isn't that freaky??

I'm thinking if I just buy really good quality snowmobile mitts, that might be enough!

Bingo!  The best little town this side of the Rockies!  Actually, it's pretty boring around here.  I think that's why I got the bike.  I've been to that cinema just on the west end of sarnia on it - went on the 402.  Just seemed to start out and i was there.

Yes I figured that's what you meant. Did you ever take Confederation Line (Cnty. Rd. 39 I think) into Sarnia. It's a more relaxed pace than the 402?

Hi guys, I'm across the bridge and 20 miles north in Lexington. Yep, frost all over the place this morning. I took the cage because my commute is 48 miles one way.
