Well it's now November.
Who's still out there? Post your rides up. Might encourage a few others.
List your gear that makes it work late in the season.
I'll ride the Burgman 650 Exec til it snows.
Lots of protection up front. Put on a wider windshield and that really improved hand a shoulder coverage.
Heated grips, power windscreen, Metzler tires.
Gear.
3/4 Bell Mag 8 - clear shield is decent but fogs a bit - still working on that.
Love the helmet otherwise.
Clear safety glasses or sun glasses. Combo works well with the good windshield.
light balaclava I wear all year to keep earphones in.
heavier neck warmer - I find that's the place that leaks cold air the most.
technical shirt with big pockets for the camera
technical undershirt to stay dry. - no cotton.
poly long underwear top have not needed
3/4 ballistic jacket with liner - good down to zero - not perfect in the rain
have the last layer - that yellow iCon jacket for night and rain. Seals very well.
I'll wear my mesh JR jacket with liner down to about 10 degrees. Can throw the iCon over it for another layer.
Rain pants over light riding pants and and poly long johns - very comfie and dry.
Wool socks under gortex hiking boots. ...good grip on the pavement even when wet.
Carry a couple of glove sets - both with liners - switch them out.
The snow mobile 3:1 gloves are decent but bulky.
Some expensive mountaineering gloves with a down liner - the outer gloves work pretty well with the heated grips.
Neither are really waterproof. Thinking about that.
The storage makes it easy to carry extra gear. The music makes the rides enjoyable regardless of the weather and makes for a quiet ride.
Cheeks get a little chilly when it gets down under 8. Kid and I used to do errands and shopping even below freezing if the roads are dry.
He's a wimp these days
