You mean you're not using energy saving bulbs?! That's like, illegal or some shit
I bought winter gloves this week, been riding through winter with my summer gloves on and a cheapo £1 pair of fleece gloves inside. Got to work on Tuesday and thought my fingers were going to drop off, so went the motorbike shop at lunch time and bought 'the warmest gloves they sell'. Still not good enough cos my fingers are still frozen when I get home ____________________ What would you do in life, if you knew you could not fail?

It's been pretty cold today, two of my damaged fingers turned blue and I had to stop work and go sit in the cafe to warm up, such was the pain. ____________________ a.k.a 'Geri'

Freezing.
Did 180 miles on Friday evening. Had to stop 3 times due to fingers being painfully cold and my balaclava displacing itself. Had on jeans, textile trousers, thick leather boots, t-shirt, 2 jumpers, textile jacket, balaclava and winter gloves. Didn't make much difference! Was snowing on the ride!
Was riding a lot of the journey with one hand on the engine casing to keep it warm. Got some dodgey looks whilst warming my right hand on the engine casing...
Just as I decided to remove the heated grips as it was getting warmer ____________________ 2004 R1 & 2018 XSR900 |

When there was all the 'frozen Britain' nonsense around December 2010, I was absolutely fine in a Canadian ski jacket.
Conversely, when I wore a M&S winter jacket outside here the other day, I immediately turned around and went back inside to change out of it - it was too thin.
As Paivi says, it's down to being suitably dressed and also the humidity. People balk at buying proper ski jackets and winter gear for the same reason your local council doesn't have any snow plows: oh, but this is Britain, it doesn't happen here, etc etc. Winter is not wet: it's very dry. ____________________ Previous: 2002 Honda CB500 (sold), 2007 Suzuki SV650SK6 (crashed), 2005 Yamaha FZ6 Fazer (sold).
