RE: Cold Weather Riding - MM300_imp - 12-22-2023
It’s been a while since I sold my CB but I’m still in it. I have always ridden year round. I’m in South East PA and we get winter temps in the teens. I don’t ’go riding’ in the winter but I do take the bikes out weekly for short rides to get them up to operating temperature and maintain the batteries. I’ll throw on an insulated Carhartt bib and take them out.

That's pretty much what I do, but in N. Texas we seldom get freezing temps. i have no heated gear, but a 30 minute ride to get up to op temp and charge the batt is still doable, but I try not to ride when it's under 50F.

For Christmas my sweetie gave me a set of silk under garments, similar to a long-sleeved T-shirt and sweat pants. Going to be 50 degrees and sunny today, so I'm gonna test 'em out this afternoon.

Too much information.

Just saw this on another forum.

Let us know how it works out. I could use heated grips on my CB

Does your statement means you have no h/grips on your DLX???

Today finally got a two pairs (2 x 2) of Klim D30^4 IP Ghost pads for the knees for my winter riding pants as a holiday special.
No more OEM CE foam pads which were stiff as heck in the cold weather riding.
The new pads are sooooo bliss and should up my winter riding comfort significantly.

Went for the silk under-layer test ride yesterday, and they performed flawlessly! (If this is too much info for you, stop reading right now, or continue at your own risk. Not responsible for any damage to your delicate condition) [Insert laughing emoji here.] With the silk garments, wool socks, jeans, a long-sleeve wool pullover shirt, a Schott Perfecto jacket, gauntlet gloves and a full-face helmet, went on a 45 minute ride in the 51 degree mid-afternoon and was toasty warm the whole time.
