It was in the low 30's yesterday morning but warmed up to the low to mid 50's which isn't too bad.
Low to mid 30's...fvck it I'll take the Z06. The supercharger loves the cool air. |

It was 31 here this AM at 6:30 when I suited up and rode to work
Tried the heated gloves WITH the heated grips and overcooked my freakin hands had to unplug the gloves...WHOO way overkill for 31....maybe when it's 20 (for the 3-4 days a year it's that cold here)

I've never tried heated gear. I did try heated grips on a bike and even a snowmobile when I was at Snowshoe and they were nice.

it was 25 this morning with frost on the ground and the back end kept wanting to break free under anything but the most conservative throttle application.
oh, and I hardly ever use the heated grips on the sled so I haven't put any on my bike. I used the ones on the sled a few times and my hands got warm and then started to sweat and then the outsides got REALLY freakin' cold

Thats the reason I don't ride under 30...not out of cold, but out of anticipation of ice. Either by dew or by possible puddle or a sprinkler gone wild..etc

I bet it wasn't 40* when I left this morning. Legs and ankles were a little cold, but not bad. Damn broken Jeep, forced me to take bike.
