Very cold weather pants?

Very cold weather pants?

Hey Dave, I'm getting teased this week by the warm sunny weather.
About your overpants, my final layer for only the very coldest days is some quilted overalls or ski pants. They're so warm that if I go into a gas station to pay for gas, I'll start to sweat in 1 minute. But I look like the Michelin man-astronaut.
But you know that would only be one of those rare winter days when the roads are dry and free of salt.

Love West Michigan

Love West Michigan

Hey Dave! Great pics!

I graduated from Mona Shores High School, and I was the only kid in school who had a motorcycle. :dancing:

I spent a LOT of time riding between Muskegon and Fremont (girlfriend at the time lived there) and had a blast. I really enjoyed it.

Now I live in Chicago, and would kill for some quality riding time in a place so beautiful.

I guess when I get my bike on the road this spring, a road trip is in order. She's coming along nicely, and I can't wait to ride.

I did some riding! 2-19

I did some riding! 2-19

Hey Dave!
I got my so dependable 1100G out for a couple 20 min. rides Saturday-2-19.
Clear, sunny and dry, but after 15 min. my finger tips got painful.
I was all set to take my JUST PAINTED '93 GSX750F for it's first ride of the year.
Tried to start it but the carbs were leaking like a baby's diaper! Then the starter shorted out! I had the bike all tuned up great just last December!
I took the starter out Monday and it's bum, an internal short.
I just bought a salvaged starter on eBay for $55 W/shipping. Can't ride now anyway, because we got more snow.
Bill
P.S What's T.C.?

i use a pair of snowboarding pants, thwy are basically the same construction and have zippered vents to cool down on the inner thighs. an added plus is they look like a pair of jeans and i have a pair that are a bright neon red. oh and no michelin man action.

So they kind of blend in with cargo pants, I mean if they weren't neon red. That sounds cool. I can't stand looking like gear geek in public, so I'm slowly changing my stuff to look common place.

Gotta admire you Red; how long did it take to get all the cloride off?

Hondo,

Bufflao Bill is the Micigander that went for ride the other day, not me.

My bike is in the far back corner of the cold cold garage. And the carbs are on the work bench in the basement, so, I am not going for a ride anytime soon.



Bill,
Oh, man, and you did all that work and painting, and ... then .. she no go.

Well, maybe next time we have a warm-up.
