Signs that winter is coming to Ohio

So I've seen the first signs of winter:

1. Drivers at gas stations ask if your cold.:p

2. People start posting about heated grips and electric vests.:)

3. Squids go into hibernation till June.:rolleyes:

4. HD riders seen with helmets!:eek:

5. HD riders shed their summer leather for a winter Carharts.:popcorn:

Any others? :lol:

Nothing wrong with Carharts. I don't care if I look like a retard, if it lets me comfortably ride all winter. :p

Nothing wrong with Carharts, probably more protection than the leathers. :D

Besides we all know only the real riders are out below 50 degrees.;)

When it gets REALLY cold...

1. I only see BMWs

2. I actually have to use the choke

3. I actually start using Winter gloves and boots

4. I start wearing 5 or 6 layers

5. I'll start using the baklava or a scarf or both

6. I think about switching to a full face helmet (got three new ones)

7. I start going around puddles and wet spots, they might be frozen

8. Ice forms on the inside of the face shield when I breath

9. I put hands on the engine at every stop

10. The tires and suspension never warm up no matter how far I go

I'm only at between 1-1/2 to 2-1/2 of 10 items so far. Not so cold yet.

Yep, broke out the gator neck and been putting my hands, mainly just left one, on the engine.

I'm going to get a couple of pairs of flannel lined jeans. Kinda hard to find.

Just wear sweatpants under you jeans.:)

For me these ATV grip covers are the diffrence between riding up to the first snow fall and riding all winter.:D

I just wanted to revive this thread, now that we're SICK AND TIRED of the winter...

Last I knew, you could get the flannel lined jeans at The Anderson's. I believe they were Carhart branded.....
