The military spec polypropylene is no joke fellas. I haven't ridden in temps under 40 until this fall and this stuff is great. 39F under a pair of jeans on a 50 mile commute not a problem. Other sites you may find a better deal not sure just do a Google search.

INEXPENSIVE

Polypro glove liners work very as does the balaclava though with the balaclava it's a bit of a tight fit under my helmet but not unbearable by any means.

that must suck!!!!!!! i wear t-shirt and jeans year round:crash
Some of my most enjoyable rides have been when the temp. in the 50's and commuting in the 40's is just as much fun minus the fact that it's on my way to work and back. If your dressed for the ride/temp it's all good.....helps you to develop one hella steady throttle hand as the tires never really seem to heat up to optimal operating temp lol....

I ride in the winter months. Usually bundled up a bit, with something covering my neck. Not too bad.

I'm gonna get an electric vest this year.:thumbup
Very glad to hear that hooligan cause around these parts I sometimes feel like I'm the only biker out riding when it hits the 40's and most times the 50's.....once it hits the 30's consistantly and they start salting the roads though I think I'll be done till early March or so.....will give me the opportunity to move her into the spare bedroom and put a pair of new tires on her for next year and also clean her up really well.

Funny thing around this area is that I'm suprised I don't see more of those so badass Harley boys out and about as I do in the summer....go figure...lol.....by the way I have room to rag on the Harley boys because I own one myself ('93 Wideglide) it just doesn't see much time on the road since I've had the '03 then '05 R1.

Again, good to hear there are some of us still riding.
