Cold, ain't it!!!

So, I guess those summer gloves I bought a few weeks back can go in the bin then!! My fingers hurt this morning, as they were so cold. It's taken me an hour just to write this!

Bloody right, great journey in this morning but v cold hands time to fit the hot grips.

Nearly turned my heated hand grips on this morning.

I may even have to get my heated jacket out as well!

Got those HG Pathan(?) Lobster type gloves.

Really warm and keeps the finger tips nice and toasty too.

Not in Barcelona it's not - mid 20s... sorry.

I use Texport Defender Pro's for the winter and they too are toasty warm.

Bandit safely tucked away snug for the winter.....

Yeah, sorry, but I've had my share of UK winters on a bike and it's one of the reasons I moved. It's now just getting cool enough to wear leathers.

Had the heated grips turned on to full roast this morning. First time since I bought a new control unit, as some lowlife had half-inched the previous control knob while the bike was parked in the street at work. So now I have to disconnect the unit every time I park the bike, grrrr.

yep tyres took a bit longer to come up to temp... but you could warm your hand on them when i got to work

need to dig the neck/face mask out though - thought i was going to get frost bite on my voicebox on the way in this morning!!!

Lovely mate, I'm v jealous. Fantastic roads ovwer there as well, and fantastic attitudes towards bikers from car drivers.....They all know who's the boss!

We had a week over there in june and loved it.

Another vote for the HG pathans. Had their first outing of the year last sunday - top ride out to Thirsk - Helmsley - Stokesly. Not cold enough yet for the liner gloves. No heated grips though, think I'll just stay inside then!

[craigw]

yep, the 749 was warmed up nicely just as I pulled up to the gates at work!

I unfortunately...wasnt.

Nancy boys! I put a jumper on this morning and was sweating: god knows what it would be like if I put the thermal lining back into the jacket.

Not sure about this grit going down tho: u think I'll get to practice riding on ice tomorrow?
