in the 30's or below.
1). How many of you ride in the winter?
2). At what temp. do you stop riding?
3). What apprl. and from where?

You forgot the electric vest. I ride most everyday. When it gets into the
low 20's at high speed the feet get pretty cold. I just have a collection
of clothes, my roadgear Eurotec Jacket and Pants are the final layer and do
a very nice job. Fiday I'm heading to SLC and should run into some 30
degree temps, should be OK. For that I'll wear thin long underwhere,
fleece pants, lined Eurotec pants, long sleaved wicking top, electric vest,
wool sweater, insulated EuroTec jacket. Heater grips.

I draw the line at about 20 degrees F. or ice on the road. I wear a First
Gear Kilimanjaro Jacket usually w/o the liner and good winter riding gloves.
Combat touing boots are on my feet. My commute to work is only about 20
min. and I can ride all year here in Pittsburgh, PA. No electrics yet but I
am looking for gloves.

Commonly ride down to the low 20's, sometimes upper teens, if the roads are
dry. Fingers on the left hand get cold as the grip heaters are less
effective on the uninsulated bar side. (Might try heated gloves next).
Otherwise it's all in the layering which is dependent on the length of the
ride. Poly-pro, polar fleece, wool, and an insulated Yoko jacket are all on
the list.

If the throttle sleeve adds that much insulation to the right hand,
then maybe it would help to fix some thin plastic insulation to left
hand side also. You would have to buy an extra set of grips to use
the larger throttle side grip for the left side, but it seems as
though it would be $7.00 well spent.

Depends on the day, but in the coldest conditions, I would typically
wear a Fieldshear Cordura jacket with Polarfleece liner, a
windbeaker under that, a rugby shirt and a turtleneck. For the
bottom half, I wear nylon pants or FirstGear rain pants, Polarfleece
lined jeans, polypropylene underwear, thick wool socks and Thor 327
motoboots treated with beeswax.
For my hands, I have these D-cell powered ski gloves that I wired
into a 3V cigarette lighter adapter. My hands almost get too hot;
I'm going to put a small variable resistor in the circuit for this
season.

I commute all winter as long as there is no ice on the road. The coldest temp
was 15F but I've ridden on numerous occasions below 20F, usually not more
than 80 miles round trip. I have a pair of fabulous Olympia Gore-Tex
snowmobile gloves, my regular Fieldsheer or Te-Par (warmer) mc boots, and I
layer my clothing thermal underwear, thick socks, Levis, tee shirt,
sweatshirt, lined Levi jacket, and finally a goose down snowmobile jacket
(F.A.T. Goose) that zips up past my chin. This jacket is too warm at 10F if
you're involved in any sort of physical activity off the bike. I have one
friend who rides in his snowmobile suit and seems to enjoy riding all winter.
All my bikes have some sort of wind protection as well although only the
Yamaha XS750 has a full fairing (Windjammer).
Hope this Helps

Flannel lined pants from Lands End, LL Bean or store of your choice.
Essential for both riding and youth soccer games!

Forgive me if this has already been posted... I've been gone for the last few days and have just read this. Our friend Eric, a long standing member of this list, passed away in his sleep the other night. I never met him personally, but as we seemed to be kindred spirits of a sort, I was really looking forward to this happening some day. [color=#008000]I don't know what else to say... He will be fondly remembered by all who knew him I'm sure.[/color] Arne [b]-----Original Message-----[/b]

Arne, I believe my brother, Eric Jasniewicz was on this KLR mailing list. He has a KLR website with a link here. My brother loved bikes. My brother died in his sleep Wednesday night. If you know him, or know he was on this list, please pass this news along so people will know. Biking was probably the best thing in his life. If anybody needs or wants to contact myself, Beth, or our family, please give them the e-mail address Further2be@... (Not the address I am mailing you from) This is very important. Thank you.
