Riding in the Cold

As much as I love to ride, doing it in the grip of cold is just deflating. I had to start building my tools to keep warm. First came the underarmour to keep me warm, then came the heated gloves, neck and face mask etc. The heated gloves changed everything. I got Gerbings from a Harley store. Yes, I know, a Yammie buying from a Harley store. Well, I have been thinking about Gerbings for a while and when I found out that Harley dealership had one, I had to go and grab a pair. The folks at Woodstock Harley are awesome. They were friendly, helpful and genuinely engaged in my purchase. I spent a small fortune there. But that changed the game. I am warm while riding, which helps with the safety. Since my fingers are not blue from cold, I have better control over the bike. Today, took my beautiful lady to downtown Chicago again. Riding in the cold was never better. There is no doubt that I will be riding through the winter as long as there is no ice or snow :) I am going to have some fun now.
