The picture is not the best but these are the handguards I use. The Plastic are a pair of ICO brand guards mounted on moose racing aluminum barkbusters. You can see in the pic that they have been tested. The plastic is large and covers the hands well. http://www.mooseracing.com/catalog.j..._group_id=7256 A cheaper version is made by Tusk. http://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/pr...dFamilyId=9533

When I get off work tonight (tom. morning at 4 am) it's supposed to be in the 30's, I think the Volvo will be my ride to work today. It's supposed to rain the rest of the week so I'll probably run it by the gas station on the way there.

The temp. here is 2 degrees above freezing, 40 Mph wind. I had to go the the post office, 2-3 miles away, 4-6 miles round trip. I had a box of sculptures that had to go out, and some ebay bike parts to pay for.
It was cold, but I'm glad I didn't have to walk, or carry a box. That's exactly the reason why I got the bike in the first place. Well that was the reason, "before" I started riding. :wink:

Its around -4 degrees celsius over here or 25 degrees farenheit I believe, and thats not going to be the tip of the iceberg in the months to come...I can handle riding this temp even with a little snowfall but soon I will have to park the China bike:(

I've hesitated switching to a winter jacket, the bike jacket blocks the wind so well. I may try wearing it under something heavier. Now if the frost could just stay off the road....
I'm impressed Kato, Georgia sound 'nippy'. If figured you guys would still be in flip-flops and t-shirts.

It gets cold here too. Problem is you need to bundle up in the morning so that you can ride home in the T-shirt.

Ditto for Nashville

I wear a wind-proof jacket and sweats underneath the jeans in the AM (high 30's-low 40's). Put it all in the empty backpack I bring along for the ride home in the PM (50's to mid-60's right now) :wink: A friend at work once said: "In Nashville, if you don't like the weather in your front yard, just go out the back door." It's true, too Bill |

If you have issues with ice and snow in yur neck of the woods you could always try zip ties and salt shakers placed above each tire.lol......a little salt goes along way for tire traction during the winter months....grap some vinegar and you can eat your fries off your tires too, I know some of you Americans will find that strange, salt and vinegar on fries, in Canada thats pretty much how to eat fries, not sure about eating of tires though but in certain suburbs Im sure thats custom.
