How much 39 degree weather you been riding in. 39 degrees with a 10-15 mph wind and it gets quite chilly. And I am not talking of riding to the store and home. I spent 6 hours riding today with stops only for fuel. By the way, the heated jacket liner works great.

If I hadn't had cervical fusion this year, I would have ridden plenty this year. Normally I ride down to 20˚F or so and heated grips and seat work fine. If I rode in weather colder than that, I would want heated pants and socks/foot liners and then heated gloves at some point. My core seems to be ok in that weather.

All my riding so far has been to or for work - just a couple tanks of gas.
If its cold and I'm only riding as far as work (about 10 miles) then I can get by in regular clothes plus my leather bush pilot jacket.

The good part is the numbness and weakness are 99% gone. I am allowed to work out now, so I will see how that goes too.

Denny and Sally (dmac) from Minnesota..... my comment was in response to Gibby's comment about their Goldwing on page one. At the time I wrote that, I didn't know you were on page four! Does that sort of make sense, my friend? When we gonna meet for biscuits and gravy?

Hey Dave, that is one sweet Pearl White GoldWing but I would like to see their Nomad too.
Denny did quite a few mods to it last fall and over the winter.
