I finally get a chance to ride this week but yesterday I can't ride because my battery is dead. Got new battery last night. So I am riding the rest of the week. Yesterday morning it was 52 degrees but warmed up to upper 60's. No worries, not that cold.

This morning as I am leaving the house it is 44 degrees. I have on jeans, a shirt and a sweater as I get the bike out of the garage. It is cool and I say to myself, "Leather jacket should be enough" but I think dang my legs are going to be cold. So I put on the insulated riding pants and start sweating even before I get out of the house. I get on the bike and I am thinking, "man this is hot, maybe I should just take these off". But I need to get going so I just leave. Riding through the neighborhood and stopping to get gas, i'm hot. Finally I get to the highway and after about 3 or 4 minutes at highway speeds I am so thankful I bundled up with the insulated pants, leather jacket and scarf to keep the throat warm. Dang it, I still need good cold weather gloves though.

Welcome to my world!  I've got an old pair of wool lined leather dress gloves that work great.  

I'm with Kenny G.,snowmobile  mittens, wind doesn't blow between your fingers ,you only need thumbs for the controls,and they have gauntlets to keep wind from blowing up your sleeves.that's what I've used ,all leather,no grip problems.

Yep, on the East Coast this strange last minute Blizzard System has brought temps that dropped from running in the low 70s in the day down to the LOW 20's at night.  

The plant life is taking it in the neck, expect oranges and peaches to be a bit more scarce this year as they are all getting frost nipped last night and tonight after greening out good.

Crazy weather, to be sure.

The protocol for RedWing waterproof boots is
pure silicone oil. Stopping flow through the material is important. A big pistol carrier opened up with the fuzzy stuff on the chest, vinyl out, really makes a difference.

Now now,  that's not done --- asking an old man "what happened to your pistol?"

Respect, gotta have some respect ....   (else they won't give you any when your time comes)

I have silicone waterproofing spray at home. I'll give that a try.
