Between the Rebel I had and my new Vstar I broke 1000 miles today. I would have done it sooner but the weather has prevented me from riding.
November 13, 2008 at 2:46 pm #14806AndrewParticipantI’m at 950 but the IL weather has had me side linded for a a full week now. Looking like Sunday and Monday are my last chances.
November 13, 2008 at 3:35 pm #14807ScottyJParticipantI’m still counting my 1000 mile intervals too. Congrats! And I hope you log many many more thousands of mile down the road…literally.
November 13, 2008 at 4:44 pm #14810JimParticipantWoohoo good for you!
November 13, 2008 at 7:03 pm #14811supermedicParticipantcool!
November 14, 2008 at 10:47 pm #14832dcJohnParticipantA little over 2 months riding and 2100 miles… smiling all the way.
I just got wired up with a heated jacket liner and gloves, so hoping to not slow down too much as it continues to get colder.
November 14, 2008 at 10:53 pm #14833Sangria7ParticipantHard core man and expensive lol…those heated gear is a pretty penny
WEather should get better again here in Texas but it rained all this past week.
November 16, 2008 at 2:34 am #14840dcJohnParticipantThe heated gear isn’t cheap, but I didn’t think it was too bad. I suppose everything is relative. Winters here in the DC area get cold, but often not too much snow, so it can make the difference between riding year round or having to store the bike away for several months. First Gear jacket liner $180, gloves $115, controller $70 (First Gear is actually just rebadged Warm and Safe heated gear.) Boy is it comfy and toasty .
The liner works great and really is the most important thing, since it keeps the core body temperature from dropping. But my favorite part is the heated gloves. The winter gloves I’d been using were bulky things that didn’t give me a lot of feel, but the heated gloves are much thinner and yet stay much warmer.
