Hand protection for winter riding?

[mattsz]

Don't all your boots have mirrors and turn signals, Scott?!?

How about this diy project by a hardcore winterrider:

boot mirrors are customarily placed on the toe-tops (for not so obvious reasons).

I wonder if they come in a size 11 ?

I bought these FirstGear gloves for cold weather riding but they are too damn hot in 45+ degree weather.  35-45, and my fingers weren't cold.  The drawback is that the thickness makes me feel a bit separated from the bars so I tend to grip harder which gets tiring.  Really nice quality.

After all the Tourmaster bashing, I got a pair at the IMS Show for $25.00.
These are the waterproof, windproof type with a Polar-Tex liner in them. I wore them the other day in down to 40 degree weather and they seemed quite nice. My fingers got a bit cold a time or two, but just a bit of wiggling got  them warmed right back up. They certainly worked for me.
The fingers look a bit short, but mine are, too, so that part fits. They were comfortable enough to make me not aware of them at all. That's a good thing!

Not so obvious reasons?  Methinks you underestimate us!

You naughty boy...

I was in Paris last week.  I love seeing the way bikes are winterized there.  Mitts and aprons  Here is an example.  I wish we could get those aprons here.  I also have a great pair of old mits and they work in any weather.

Reads like a great incentive for a renewed city trip!
My daughter used leg protection when still on the 50cc scooter. However she deems it unfit for use on the motoscooter, but that's more of a personal preference. Apron came from 'rad.eu'.

I loved seeing those aprons when I was in Europe.  I always called them "scooter blankets".  They do double duty: keep you dry when riding, keep the seat dry when parked.

I had a friend who had obtained a complete steer hide and was going to make it into an apron for his large cruiser, just attach it across the tanks and to the engine guard.

I just spoke to the rep from National Cycle.  They're planning to have hand deflector shields soon, like in a week or so.

For our Enfields?  They have some listed already...

[Ducati Scotty]

Well there you have it then

[mattsz]

Wait a minute!  Scotty, you pointed them out to me waaaaay back on November 30th, reply #4 in this very thread!  Are we going in circles?
