Its so cold out there on the bike…any tips from senior riders on how to keep warm…in this weather
take the car or the train:)
plenty of layers and slow down a bit, its the windchill that gets to ya 

Indeed, layers is the best thing.
It’s very, very simple. All you need to do is get a set of these…http://www.bitzforbikes.co.uk/productdetails.php?id=13710&ajax=true
…and fit them. If, like me, you are not mechanically competent, then take them to this guy to install…

Have a pee 
Great for the first 30 seconds or so :w00t:
one good thing about riding in cold weather: it is much easier to find a parking bay in london:D
Get close to the engine 
Works well for hands when your at the traffic lights.
You wanted advice from “senior riders”? As I was riding before JFK was assassinated, do I count as a senior?
First: Whimp. It’s still only October/Autumn. Some of us still ride when it gets January/February cold.
Second: Motorcycle gear and the choices have come to a point where me and friends back then would have looked at as Nirvana.
Third: Layers. But you don’t need the news paper one(s) any more. Well, not unless it gets proper cold.
Fourth: Whimp!
Even my tortoise is still awake, so it’s still warm.
:w00t::D:hehe:
Exactly that. Keep the hands warm and your body feels warmer by default.
+1 Some good points lucidly made, no signs of “dementure” (madness of the teeth) yet.![]()
PMSL!! ![]()
Easyrider, are you and Milo planning on starting your own club?!? ![]()
Jetystream, stop faffing with my posts. If you “have” to do it, get things right.
Tortoises belong in “chelonia”.
Madness of the teeth is “mendenture”, unless you are of the female persuasion.
WTF is “KFC”?
(Still think the guys a whimp.)
Buy good quality winter riding jacket, trousers and gloves.
Slow down a tad, wind chill does do it, layers and good kit are the answer. Good gloves, neck buff and a decent warm jacket helps enormously. Heated grips are very nice to have, but you can survive without if your gear is good. Come January, you’ll find the snot freezing in your nose and wishing you could have a heated helmet never mind gloves…
Layers and good quality gear.
For added warmth to your winter gloves, Hein Gericke do silk gloves that add an additional layer for your hands. Does make a difference, and doesn’t add to the bulk.
Remember many thin layers are better than few thick layers.
Membership to the LB Car & Van Club is the way forward;):D:D:D
