2023: What did you do to/with your NC700/NC750 today?

[NE-Okie]

day 26 of riding for the year was a 40 miler at 37 degrees and cloudy

He probably sees The Ferret motoring near the shore.

First day back after a week of parent sitting. It is nice to be back.

20 miles into work today. 43°, sunny skies, light winds, and I was bundled up like Ralphie's little brother! But man it was nice. Looking forward to the return 20!

That looks so nice and clean.

I got to wash mine after chewing through wet snow up Pump Back HIll. It is a mess.

The Ferret's winter riding gear.

Honestly with my Givi shield, balaclava, heated jacket liner, heated grips, and handlebar muffs, it's a very pleasant ride.

I might have to get a windshield like that.

I'm doing good with snowmobile gloves, and heated grips.

We probably should start a thread about how our winter gear works.

Not a bad idea!

I don’t have anything heated, I layer the top half with tshirt, sweatshirt & vest, topping it off with a lined motorcycle jacket. I wear heavy jeans with over-pants, thick socks, boots, heavier gloves and a neck gaiter.
The coldest I have ridden is 38°, but typically mid 40’s or higher. I prefer a sunny day.

That describes my current strategy. The snowmobile gloves and a wind proof barclava from cycle gear is all else I use.

The low 30's°F is about my coolest but I can ride quite a few miles like that and still be comfortable.

I have the tall Honda windscreen, Barkbusters hand guards, Honda heated grips, insulated overalls, gaiter, long sleeve t, sweat shirt, flannel lined jeans, heavy coat, heavy insulated gloves, and medium weight boots. I definitely need to upgrade my boot and sock game. And OMG! Those heated grips!!! I can feel the warmth even through the heavy gloves.
I much prefer to ride in the dry and avoid riding in rain as much as I can. And wind, I really dislike riding in strong winds.

For our Oklahoma weather a good 4 season motorcycle jacket is a good investment.

I got mine at Cycle Gear in Tulsa, but there is a lot to pick from at other places so you can be picky for that kind of money.

My jacket and insulated overalls are a Carhartt knockoff. I believe the brand is Beane.

I have one of those Beane jackets for farm work.

I agree wholeheartedly on the jacket. I refer to my Bilt Blast 2 as a 3 season jacket & I have a Scorpion EXO summer jacket.
I am looking to add some hand guards to help with the wind. Maybe a taller windscreen.
The overpants are great, but next time I will get bibs. Tired of pulling those things up when I get off the bike….

Today almost seemed like a heat wave lol..... 57 miles @ 51 degrees and mostly cloudy.

Saw 5 other bikes out..in February. That's wild!
