hellfire vs plexistar 2 windshields

looks kinda chilly to me.. I go over this pass (the 5000 ft. overlook) every time I ride.. it is about 45 miles into the loop I take. sometime a 130 mile loop, sometimes over 200 miles.. the 200 mile loop takes me up to 6000 to 8000 feet.. in mid winter, I limit my 200 milers because of ice at the higher elevations.. my feelings toward the cinders they lay down are mixed.. when there is ice and snow, they are welcome.. when the road dries out, but the cinders remain, they become slippery.. I like to flirt with the danger of ice and snow and the beautiful scenery is also rewarding.. but I am getting older and any falls now might end my riding.. (hopefully not).. plus the fact I would hurt my C.B.. I have sold a few of my bikes because I have crashed them.. I have always repaired them, but they are never quite the same..

to answer your question G.O. I would guess around 20 times a season.. the question that you aren't asking is, what are the average temps in the mountains where I ride in the winter months at 3000 to 5000 feet.. thats where my handy-dandy thermometer comes in.. there is a difference in temps of about 20 to 30 degrees when I go on my rides.. sometimes even in the summer.. at the place we call the 5000 foot overlook, winter temps are usually 40* to 46* .. there are times when I wear my heated gear, but never turn it on.. the system I have made makes it almost effortless to plug and play my heated gear.. when I first bought my Gerbing heated gear, I didn't use it much.. it was such a pain to wire it up.. you know, running a "Y" harness up your back and down your sleeves to connect your gloves to your vest, then plug the vest into the side cover of the bike.. so I spent quite a bit of time, making parts and controller boxes.. it was time well spent.. now I reap the rewards..

Ah ya, those mountains. What are those? Things we call mountains around here are probably speed bumps to you.
