Dave, tell him how great winters are in New England, with TONNES of snow every other day, constant shoveling, and yes, chopping hard wood ALL the time for warmth, nothing wrong with winters in the East.... and winter is 6-8 months, not 3

We'll see!!

I LOVE WINTER, the snowmobiling, shoveling 4 feet of that great white snow every other day. getting stuck in 6 feet of it with my truck, not to mention school cancellation and stuck at home with my kids .....whats not to love about winter? I do love winter, but LAST WINTER was a little to much, think i'll retire in Florida if we have one close to what we had last winter

| | Posted : 09 Oct 2015 - 14:09 Post title : Re: cold weather gear (Re: davetac1) | | | Don't worry about winter. Don't you know that with "climate change" we can soon expect year round warm weather anywhere south of the North Pole? But in the meantime I share your pain. Here in northern Illinois we are seeing the sure signs that winter is coming. Seems to happen every year around this time. But until it gets below 40 I still ride, although I prefer over 50 degrees to enjoy the ride. I don't own any electric gear, but maybe that's the answer for now and until this "global warming" ever gets here!

If I were you,I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for this Global Warming [climate change] that these bleeding heart liberals are talking about.All they're doin is making money off it. Things will pretty much stay the same and we'll STILL be freezing our asses off in the winter months for the next 1000 years. But win,lose,or draw,I still got the bases covered! The next accessory for your scooter will be AC. And don't laugh because there IS such a thing available on the market now. [I've read about it] BUT,for a premium price,and I mean PREMIUM. [So I think I'll continue to sweat on those hot days]

And then,the RUT has started and I've already encountered a number of deer runnin across the streets in front of me at night. Winter doesn't officially start here for another few weeks,yet it's cold already.Previews of coming attractions I guess. Welcome to New England!!
