Wimp! Cold is good, keeps the scooter riders tucked up in bed with their blankies.

Went out on the Firebucket at the weekend, it was warmer than today. Good ride and as such, lifted my spirits towards Spring. However, yesterday and today have taken me back into Siberia mode with two fleeces on in the Elise for the journey to work.

To think that I was was scratching sliders on Sunday afternoon and now I could ice skate at the local pond. Barmy!

I think it was even colder on the way in this morning

3 pairs of gloves would not appear to be sufficent. I may have to break out the muffs after all

Try a 3 1/4 hour ride from Redditch - Salisbury on Sunday night! Every 20 miles we had to stop in garages to warm our hands up under the driers! Bloody atrocious.

I get a cold penis. Just thought I'd share that with you.

Yeah, I find zero deg C is about the cutoff point for muffs. Above that I find it's OK to stop about as often as I'd naturally want to for a fag break, and shove my gloves on top of the engine while I smoke so they're nice and toasty when I set off again. Below freezing the muffs come out for anything over a few miles... make the controls a bit awkward but they work like magic.

I have a heated waistcoat from BMW. It's lovely. Had to turn off this morning, too warm!

I also have heated grips, not so good but wouldn't be without them.

Unfortuantely, its true. I havn't had my bike/scooter/whatever you want to call it out for a week, its been WAY too cold and wet to be riding around at 30 mph

Yeh, I know what you mean, expecially when riding in the rain in only jeans

That's interesting, but what about on the bike?

No problem on the bike. You'll never guess where I put my inner gloves...
