Why is it?

Living in Northeast Ohio, the riding season can be pretty short. I have extended my riding season to 12 months by adding heated gear (Gerbing) with the controls and plugs wired into the F6B.
Now the only days I don't ride are due to road conditions (wet or salty). If the roads are dry and not too salty it is nice to get out for an hour or so.
Get a lot of thumbs up and a lot of head shakers also. Fun.
Heated gloves, pants and jacket allow me to ride even at single digit temps and still be toasty.
Anyone else?

Here in Cali I ride all year....A good jacket and waterproof gloves/boots will do wonders....
We are getting hammered with rain lately but I'm still on two wheels.

My B is my daily commuter. Like Billsim, I plug in my jacket, turn up the heat on the grips and away I go. The ride not only puts me into a better mood, but allows me to ride the HOV/HOT lanes without paying for the privilege of not sitting in traffic. Without it, my commute would go from 20 mins to an hour, easily.

Ditt billsim minus heated apparel.I got tired of bike sitting in garage 3 years ago.So, I bought freezeout baselayer plus first gear thermal suit and barracava mask.The f6b has great wind protection better than my bmw and the f6b was bike I started riding year round.People think I'm nuts .I think they don't know what their missing.# straight years tween 10 and 12000 miles in Ohio .I don't ride when salt on road etc.and do watch weather forecast before cause of sleet etc.

I don't get many miles in the summer simply riding locally down thru Amish country south of home Saturdays and Sunday mornings. So by extending my riding season when the roads are clear and dry I can get 7K to 8K per year.
I gotta say that riding when it is less than 50 degrees is a lot more fun to me than riding in 80 degree heat. The F6B has really good wind protection, especially when using a full height windshield.
Been out on the bike in weather cold enough that the bike can't display the air temp. Simply shows ----.
Also love the reactions I get from people on the roads.
