Running the Gauntlet - CB4ME_imp - 10-07-2014

Or rather running with my Chic Design “Guyra” gauntlets. Available from Takashi: http://www.samurider.com/?p=19117

With winter approaching I thought I would raise the topic of cold weather protection.

I had a chance to ride in 48 degree weather the other day (mild by winter standards). First I spent 5 minutes mounting a pair of Chic Design gauntlets to the mirror stems. While not a substitute for heated grips in cold weather, these gauntlets do a pretty good job of keeping the wind off your hands and don’t detract from the look of the bike.

Today was rainy and I decided to see how they would do. Hands stayed dry with an occasional drop hitting the top back of the hand.

Anyone using gauntlets this Fall? Headed grips and gauntlets?

Could you please post a picture of them close up to see the fitting on the mirror stems ? Thanks !

Nope I wear good gloves down to 20 then heated glove liners in my good gloves.

Wife is done riding huh?

You probably have more hands on working on the CB 1100 than any Honda mechanic in the country.

No red gauntlets?

Does anyone know why they're called 'Guyra' gauntlets?

I thought that if anyone, you might know. Isn't Guyra a town in New South Wales? Are the bugs so bad there you need gauntlets?

Well, I wondered about that. If it is our Guyra, it's more likely to be cold AND bugs. It's the coldest spot on the New England Highway and was freezing when Pterodactyl and I were there in August.

Between my Honda heated grips, Guyra gauntlets, and my Lee Parks Thinsulate gloves, I ride until the snow hits. Me hands stay toasty warm and dry.

They keep a lot of rain and bugs/rocks off your hands.
I love em!
