You make good points. The Gerbing heated gloves do have some protection – they are the T5 model. The boots are 12″ high and made of a good quality leather. And finally, I do ride a trike, so no need to worry about the bike falling. Don’t take me the wrong way – I totally agree with you that in spite of what I just said, there is no guarantee that some odd crazy thing might still happen which could result in an injury or worse. It’s the nature of the beast.

Someone mentioned needing snowmobile gloves for the cold weather. Guys and gals – when you get time, read the reviews on “Outdoor Research Alti Mitts”. Once you read them , you’ll be tempted to invest in them ( these puppies are meant to be used to climb high mountains). I just bought Gerbing’s heated gloves and I was surprised that they are not as warm as I expected they would be. So far, they are ok because it hasn’t gotten that cold around here yet. I also have heated grips AND hand guards, so I am curious just how low the temps will have to go before all of these 3 things combined aren’t effective anymore. I will keep you posted. For my feet, I plan on wearing Cabela’s 2,000 gram thinsulate hunting boots along with 2 or 3 pairs of Cabela’s wool socks. As you can see, I am kinda making it my project to see what I can do so that cold weather isn’t a problem. Oh – one more thing I accidentally discovered. I find that if the FIRST thing I put on my upper body is some type of pullover sweater, that helps a lot. My leather jacket is a size 50 ( chest size is about 44), so I can actually wear a parka and sweater under it – haha!

Right now, I am on here and also are 5 guests. Why don’t you guests join our group and also post some comments? I would much prefer “chatting” in here (where we all have something we love in common), than in a “real” chat room where you end up chatting with a bunch of nuts in most cases. Oh – by the way – if you want to find something interesting to read up on – do a search on “sonny barger”. Here is a guy who had a very interesting and – according to our judicial system – at times led an illegal life – and is now making a ton of money writing about all of it.

The hot female cop was probably following you for both of those reasons. Then again – maybe she was interested in you. Next time that happens, pull over and try to get her attention and ask some stupid question such as getting directions to someplace (her place? – haha). Hey – why live if we can’t have a little fun – eh?

Best thing I realized is that this life does not necessarily end once we die. I mean – for all we know – maybe once this life ends – we go to where our bikes never break down and gas is free. And if not – then we deal with whatever we have to deal with – just as we are now doing. Now – that isn’t so bad – is it?

I think the only hot female motorcycle cops are the ones we see in movies. Any actually come across one in real life?

I live in a suburb of Philadelphia Pa. I ride all year round, as long as it isn’t raining or snowing out. I am getting a trike kit installed, so riding in bad weather won’t be anywhere near as much a problem for me as when I rode 2 wheels. I am retired, so I can wait for the sun to melt any ice that is on the roads and then get my ride in before the roads ice up again. What I would LOVE to do is to move about every 3 months to a climate that is about 70 degrees during the day. As winter approaches, I would move further south and vice versa as summer approaches. Let me know what you think of my idea – ok gang?
