FIZZER6

How cold have you ridden?
So after 2 weeks of not riding due to cold, rain, ice and snow I decided to suck it up this Friday morning and ride the bike into work. As I wheeled the FZ6 out of my garage across the frosted grass my bike gauge temp registered 20F!
I wasn't so sure this was a good idea. I've only ridden below freezing (32F) once and it sucked.
This time though I had snow mobile gloves and a Joe Rocket Balaclava!
What a difference those 2 items made! Windproof pants and heavy leather jacket over a fleece. With the balaclave in place I felt no wind on my chin or neck at all. Toasty as could be. the only thing that got cold was my feet after 15 minutes. I need some of those windproof boot covers.
The only thing I forgot was my PinLock faceshield so I had fogging issues all the way in so I had to leave the shield cracked when below about 40 mph.
It was actually quite entertaining to see all the strange looks from people in cages with their heat cranked up to high! :spank:
