Even with heated grips, and even if I don't actually feel cold while I'm riding, within 15 minutes of getting home, my hands become chilled, and they never were on the bike. Go figure.

The only downside to riding an unfaired bike in winter is the time taken to layer up! I swear by Icebreaker merino layers. Good in the cold and warmer weather too as you don't end up all smelly at the end of a hot days' ride like when wearing polypropylene or cotton :-).

I really enjoyed visiting with them last summer. <br /><br />I hear that the heated insoles are the way to go, but that's just what I hear. More convenient as they can be left in place all the time and just used when needed. I have been thinking about them as well. The new boots aren't as warm as the old ones.

I hear of too many people having issues with windscreens creating buffeting on the helmet. I usually just deal with the cold. <br /><br />Chris L (Mr. Everyday Riding) made it from Minneapolis to Alaska to Sand Diego and Home on an SV650 with no windscreen. I can at least do a little bit of winter riding without one. Or at least I'd like to think I can.Trobairitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453398807198746434noreply@blogger.com
