Re: Cold Weather riding
The last 6 months I've had freezing weather,loads of down pours,80 mph winds, snow and even some fecker trying to knock me off the thing but I still get up every morning and jump back on
I get knocked down but i get up again.

You're our very own Weeble
I don't look to go out in the rain but I don't have a problem riding in it.
The cold is what I can do without but this new kit is really good.
Heated gloves may be on order for next winter.

OI, I resemble that remark..Kwacky wrote:Car pussy :p
But in my justification, it would probably take me longer to get kitted up, get the bike out, ride to work, and get myself sorted out again than it does to jump in the car and turn the heated seats on.

Re: Cold Weather riding
My boss has not only got full A/C and heated seats, but his car also comes with a heated steering wheel.
There's no need, is there?

Heated seats rock! Have them in the Subaru. They are like heated grips, you'll think they are wank till you try them then wonder why you didn't get them earlierMonty wrote:We're getting old aren't we? Heated bloody seats!

Re: Cold Weather riding
Heated seats are a godsend on leather seats in the winter months.
