- August 22, 2013, 14:17:38 PMI had on jeans, (with a hole in one leg), hoody, leather jacket, denim vest, (blanket lined), leather boots, nose-picker gloves,(no fingers on them; I nicknamed them that after seeing a guy booking down the highway and digging in the nose at the same time), and my helmet with a skully on under it. When I get too cold, I put chaps on,(leather) regular leather gloves, in REALLY cold weather I wear insulated gloves and use an electric jacket under my leather jacket; it plugs in to the outlet for my battery tender. Sometimes I use a helmet with a face shield as well. I do have a windshield on as well, but last night it wasn't doing a lot of good as it was quite windy. Wasn't a long ride, or would have put on chaps and full gloves.

- August 22, 2013, 13:57:37 PMSounds like one of those magical rides that we all get now and again during the ridin' season. Mind if I ask what you wear to keep that chill out of your bones. 48F is quite chilly to be ridin' especially without the sun. Do you have a windshield? I don't have a windshield so my early morning rides to work lately at 52F get quite chilly on the highway even with 3 layers on. Days here are still getiing into the low 80's so ridin' home is great! All the morning gear stuffed in my back pack. I can ride down to about 55F comfortably, below that it starts getting difficult to stay warm after about 1/2 hour ridin'. Legs and chest seem to be the hardest to keep warm.

- August 22, 2013, 13:24:17 PMWent for a night ride last night, left the house at around 10:30pm. Beautiful; wispy clouds with the moon shining through, cool night breeze, pleasant smells, fresh cut grass, poplar trees, smoke from a brush fire in someones field, etc. Was around 48F, a bit cool, but still a great ride, wish it could have lasted longer, but it is what it is. Loved it.
