Riding "season's"... whats that? Rain gear, cold weather gear, and summer gear are all I need - attached is about the worst I have rode in though. Believe the only time I went down, the ground was dry (June timeframe I think).

Still riding, no heated gear for me...... yet

A set of heated grips would be nice though. I just bought a Teiz Lombard one piece suit, should be a little warmer for me in the upcoming months.

Lombard

Me either... lolz

Although, I do sport ICON bibs during wet and cold seasons - these things rock. Def get my recommendation for anyone in the market and/or in a similar climate situation. Actually, they double as ski pants too!

Ride Icon - PDX WATERPROOF BIBS

Rock the Orange coat too... http://rideicon.com/product_details....=3433&id=12026

Ride year round myself as we have no snow problems, but some wuzzies here say it's to cold, but come summer they say it's to hot," big girly men me thinks"
i just tell them to get pink leathers and be done with it.

Can I ride in this? It snowed another 3in. I have to go to work in the shit. Bless my wife's heart it took her an hour to shovel the driveway. The neighbor felt bad and finally came and helped her out. Last pic is the track the fox left behind.

Summer time it's anywhere from 10 to 40, Winter 0 to maybe 20 Celcius
( double then add 30 to compare it to your temp if you aren't sure)
can be cold to ride without proper gear, but fine if you rug up.Must drive you guys nuts just looking at your bikes and not being able to take them for a spin.It's quite chilly today, overcast and windy,we can get 4 seasons in one day.

The drive way. You can kind of made out the tracks the truck left behind only 6hrs prior. Local fox killing the small dogs in the neighborhood. Those are his tracks.
