Winter!

[cheshirecat]

problem with winter gears for me is the gloves.

I can put layers over layers under jacket, pants, boots... but what do you do with winter gloves? Ive got quality winter gloves with 3m thinsulate layer but my hands freeze about an hour ride.

any tips? (other than heated grips?)

Handle bar mitts. Look daft but they work. Road UK winters including snow with just those and heated grips and normal riding gloves.

Just close your eyes and use the force, you'll be right.

Cheers man. It worked.

But I used Emersons.

Spooky but the thunder storm on the way home way cool on the i love the thunder storms . Anyway is there any thing i can put on my visor to bead the rain better ?

Gold , it may have worked on the scooter not the bike i think

lol I haven't found anything to help with clearing water from visor that actually worked yet. u can get some shit called kat krap or something haha.. i seen it in the bike shops bought it once and didnt really do much for me.

turn ur head sideways into the oncoming wind, clears all the rain off..

and then use the force (emersons) to guide where you are going

Yep, this'll be my first winter riding. Haven't got my own car so I'll be commuting to work on either my KR150 or the Street Magic I'm currently borrowing. Probably going to ride the TR50 on rainy days.

Winter worries me a little, not the cold so much as the rain. It's the worst for me because my visor has one spot that fogs up in rain or harsh cold, even with my pinlock anti-fog insert fitted.

Other than that my only worry is getting my KR150 to start in the morning lol.

Plexus does very well at not letting the water hang around on the visor. Spray it on, rub it in with a cloth. Repeat as required as it slowly wears away.

If my bike was back together I would definitely be riding it through winter. Cant wait to get out in the mountains on the dirtbike and play in the ice and snow.
