Squids United: 2015 FJ09

[Tyler.M]

depending on the tires... these were meant to be ridden year round. dont wait for a warm day.

True. Tires are decent 3 seasons and seemed fine yesterday at 42f. Heated grips are a necessity though, think that will be my first upgrade.

My R6 has zero heated anything or auxiliary outputs... and i rode it 365 for years. i did have unvented gloves for winter and closed the vents on my boots.

I hate this argument. Because I suffered, you should.

This thing looks fun Tyler. Have fun adventuring!

i never suffered in the winter. simple gear adjustments save you from bike mods. maybe some simple thermals under your pants and non vented gloves... thats all you really need. If you get cold just blast up over 100 and the adrenaline will warm you  

I suffered MUCH more in the summer because i refuse to give up my leather jacket after my accident.

I got a good Alpinestars Suit with a removable thermal and my boots with a nice set of wool socks keeps me decently warm down to 30f. I just get cold hands and absolutely hate cold hands. I hate wearing thicker gloves usually so it seems like a bar mitt and a heated grip combo might work well. Heated grips would be nice too in those rare instances its 60 degrees in the Burg and 30's when I go to a higher elevation in WVA.
