GB I have never ripped on you unless you need it, and count this as a need time......
Troll really wondering about people now, low to mid sixties all day, really nice and bright and sunny, got up early and got my chores done about the house and groceries done, need to kick that bad habit of eating three meals a day. But amazed at the number of bikes I spotted about town and they were all decked out in their cold weather gear, riding chaps (leather for JH) big bulky leather jackets, full face helmets, and they were all congregating at the local Timmies, (Canada's answer to Starbucks) would say saw about 50 to 70 bikes during the morning errands (0700 to 0930). Called a buddy asked if he was up to a ride, said he would be over in 15 mins. We did the Martin River loop, saw perhaps 5 bikes the whole 4 hours we were out, other then in town and around the coffee shops. Fantastic day and the range of reds and hues of red in the leaves was really cool.
Troll do they have camera's in 0hi0?

- September 28, 2013, 08:14:32 AMThat's OK Ratman, it's nice to see this sensitive and softer side of you... at least you're not ripping on me when you're in this sensitive mood.
Just don't start wearing women's underwear, or if you do, DON'T POST ANY PICS ...

- September 27, 2013, 13:13:31 PM80 deg. here today. Just went for a 100 mile back road cruise. I saw plenty of riders on the more traveled routes, but not where I went. Here are a couple of pictures to prove it happened....It's not the middle of nowhere, but you can see it from here. Leaves are not turning yet, so maybe the winter is still off in the future. Saw a couple of flights of geese a few weeks ago, but nothing recently.. I live on one of the major N-S flyways....

It's a local outdoor sports/hunting retailer. They have all sorts of fishing gear. I might also take a ride to Cabella's, which has a huge assortment.DC
If you can not find any let me know and I can get them at Canadian Tire for a decent price and then ship them to you. I have 2 pairs always, one pair is packed in the storage area of the bike and one pair in my travel pack, well worth the money.
Before that though, I have to go to medical supply after work and get some sutures. I was cleaning some knives last night and the blade on one of them sliced through the fleshy part of my thumb.

You might also check with him.If I have this right, the bike chaps just slip over the crash bars and help to keep you warm..they look like a good idea, they don't seem to sell them here but I reckon I could make some out of an old leather coat and clean them up with some leather shoe dye..

- September 27, 2013, 09:19:05 AMJohn, I like your resourcefulness. Reminds me of the movie "The Great Escape" Just a note on the amount of material needed to make these crash bar chaps, it would take a piece of material at least 45cm x 35cm. They are double sided and slip over the the crash bar like a tea cozy.
