Temporary Winter Hand Guards

[Netnorske]

In no way can I take credit for this, but since "EB" is a little challenged in the computer dept....I will provide some "professional assistance". This great idea was all his though. Maybe some of you out there have used these before, but I've never seen'em until I saw them on his bike so in my book, he gets the credit ;)!

Yesterday I rode with "EB", aka John Biddle of Mountlake Terrace, WA....and he had these really cool molded foam hand guards on his bike that are essentially made for ATV's and such. The cool thing about them is that they just strap on/off with a Velcro strap and provide nearly twice the coverage of the permanent plastic hand guards! These are perfect for winter riding as they will really increase the wind/rain protection and best of all.....they are only $20.00 at Wally World !

Anyways, John swore by them so I had to run right out and pick up a set (they will be found in the ATV section of the Automotive Dept). I just strapped these on right over my plastic ones and they will stay there until spring! These can easily be packed (they will lay flat) for a long haul trip in case of sudden rain storms, etc.

I know, I know.....get to the pics!

Check these out....they may not be the prettiest things, but functional beyond belief! Besides....we don't all have the luxury of riding in 80 degree weather all year....like....hhhhmmm.....CJ and BD come to mind....... ::) ! This time of year in the Pacific Northwest, a good riding day is 45 degrees... . If it's still dry when you roll back into the garage...well.....then you better believe it was a GREAT riding day... ! Thanks to EB for the inspiration!
