    My grip heaters are working again, but no heaters aside from those. Definitely the dorkiest thing I've ever done to the bike, luckily they go on and off in about 10 seconds. It's just a velcro flap and the strap around the bar.

    I think I saw one of those electric bikes that @uurx was talking about.. its cool i guess if you live in a city, but if you have to go more than a couple miles, then its kinda useless.

    Why hasnt anyone made a bicycle that can be charged by pedaling? Like those old school flashlights.. https://www.amazon.com/Thorfire-Fla...three_browse-bin:8235814011&s=hardware&sr=1-1

    That looks awesome! My legs freeze in khakis and I'm too cheap to buy overpants, looks perfect. Also I dig the hawaiian shorts that guy has on hahaha

    Harley... said I didn’t lube up all the components when installing it... and that there was dirt and grime locking everything up.

    I took it apart and it looked clean. But who knows.

    I suppose I’m ready for cold weather riding. I have Sedici insulated overpants as well as a very nice Alpinestars DryStar jacket, also equipped with reflective internal panels.

    I wanted to buy some heated gear but just didn’t have the budget for it, so I’m thinking my fingers and toes will dictate how long my fall rides will be. :pout:

    Honestly I rode alot in the cold years ago. F that now. Bike is already in tr he garage for next season. And it took me all summer to get her rideable. I put a whopping 220mi on it this year.

    In reality im just looking forward to paying off the truck and buying a new more comfortable bike next season

    Without a doubt it will be some sort of adventure style bike. Don't have a clue what make or model yet but I have some ideas
