Tips for Cool Weather Bike Riding


You didn’t buy that bike so that it would stay in the garage the first time the temperatures begin to dip.  Fall is perhaps one of the greatest times of the year to jump on the back of your motorcycle and hit the open road, but to fully enjoy that next road trip you need to properly gear up for that next adventure.  As anyone who has ever logged some cold weather miles can tell you, cold weather makes for an uncomfortable ride which can quickly sour you on the process.  That need not be the case.
Gearing up properly for a fall ride requires staying insulated and beating the wind.  Happily, there are a number of both low tech and high tech solutions designed to make that next riding experience pleasurable.  There is no shortage of high tech solutions that may filter the wind at the risk of straining your bank account.  Towards that end, the truly die-hard can outfit themselves with heated gear that plugs into their clothing and is run off the bike’s battery.  While it’s certainly a nice way to travel, a snug fitting jacket, scarves, gloves, and hats are an excellent way to extend the riding season into the colder seasons.
