    Raynauds and riding in cold weather

    Heated everything was the only thing that worked for me, but I would ride into freezing temperatures. I have a heated jacket, boot insoles and gloves. That's what it took to keep fingers from going white.

    Right thumb, index finger, and middle finger numbness

    I had numb hand issues if my gloves were even the least bit tight across the back of my hand when gripping the throttle. I had to wear a XXL or XXXL to get rid of numbness.

    Slow flight

    I've gone to Montreal for lunch, and back. F# flying that short of a distance. When I traveled weekly for work, anything under 800 km I would drive. Add up all the time waiting in airport, delays, dealing with rental car, blah.

    Astonishing Find

    Motorcycles are safe. It's the sudden stops and unintended dismount where you get hurt.

    Who's still riding? (Fall 2017 / Winter 2018 edition)

    Its a great cold weather helmet, can be stifling in hot weather due to how well it seals around neck. For the record, the chin bar does no pop open when it strikes pavement. the visor dissappearde but helmet is solid.

    No official word from insurance yet, just my guess its totalled. I was offered a rental vehicle, cant drive and dont need it. I'll ask about helmet replacement.

    The winshield was broken with shoulder, it looks like helmet only touched the pavement when i face planted on passenger side, theres only a scuff on the helmet chinbar, no other marks. the visor broke off so no telltale marks to see, modular helmet did not pop open. I've kinda pieced it together...

    Was at a bus stop bus pulled over and a suv used the bus as a shield to pull out and stop midway. https://imgur.com/a/AR8cO

    Yes, no tickets for me, even insurance assigned me zero blame based on police report.

    Was riding yesterday, was such a nice day. Then got taken out by a suv at 7pm. Broken collarbone, and bike is more than likely totalled. Keep riding but stay safe.

    I may not have buns of steel, but......

    Awesome. I was within 50 miles of doing the 1000 this summer, next year for sure.

    Trade-in Question

    It was worth it to me to trade in versus dealing with the doosh baggery of the selling on kijiji world.

    100% Truth. The only way I can keep my hands warm is with a warm upper body. I feel comfortable at colder temps, but my Raynaud's kicks in and the warmest gloves in the world wont keep my fingers from going white.

    Hah yes, that's a huge plus to riding late fall and early spring.

    Tons of good riding still to do this season, if you are equipped for the temps. Today was really nice, sunny and clear.

    Disappointed in new Ducati Panigale V4

    I only care about what the view is while I'm riding, I don't give a flying **** what pedestrians see when I roll by.

    How much would you charge for the work to my bike?

    Me? Id charge $100 an hour and I'm pretty slow and take naps. You got yourself a bargain.

    Snow Blower Recommendations

    We don't get consistent snow fall in niagara, but when we do its usually lake effect from erie, and it can be heavy. I bought a 24" husqvarna from CT for under $1000 a few years ago, I doubt a $2500 honda will outlast it 2.5 times when it runs only a few hours per year.
