General Discussion / Re: Cold Weather Riding Gear
« Last post by aklawok on November 27, 2025, 11:08:11 PM »
 I find it humorous you southerners still get to ride in ( warm) 40f weather. I ain't seen since September! Have been riding my snowmachine here for weeks already.
Bit to be serious, my near expert advice for cold weather riding:
If you can keep your head, hands and feet warm, the rest of you will be warm too.
Heated grips are great but if you wear big bulky ski type  or gauntlet gloves, it can get uncomfortable, sweaty or not have the heat penetrate. Solution I use is a thin mx style glove under a single layer fleece type that has a leather-like palm.



This gives excellent grip without slip, good heat transfer, and layered insulation on the knuckle. And the fleece allowed for wiping the snotcicles! Lol!
Next I really love my Klim helmet liner. There are many types that will fill the gap and tuck nicely under the neck. Nothing worse than a blow torch on the side of the neck....bin der dun dat.
As for boots: Muck arctic pro. Keeps you warm and dry down to -10f all day but offers little road protection. And yes, my size 12 flippers will work on the pegs in them!
As for clothing, anything that keeps it loose and layered but also straps at neck and cuffs is fine.
A warm under layer over a weather resistant shell is far better than a thick outer jacket only....it gets damp or you sweat getting to hot and can't change out an under layer.
Yo moma always said bring a clean pair of underwear. I say bring extra dry socks if you don't pack anything else!

A buddy of mine in Colorado said Aces and Erico were discontinuing Guzzi’s
The former stated he couldn’t get MG to provide warranty work payment (my buddy had an issue with a V7-850 and Aces was really not interested in servicing it)
The latter has 2 Guzzi’s in stock and stated he wasn’t ordering anymore

Took my wife and her sister to a buffet late this morning, then had my oldest friend over this evening for a light dinner and a bottle of Chianti.  topped it all off by listening to Alice's Restaurant Massacree and then the motorcycle song for desert.

Day is complete!

Much to be grateful for.

I've never owned a brick-engine K bike, but did have an R100RS and K1200S for a while.  The R was about as exciting to ride as a sewing machine, no character at all, slow, skinny tires, etc.  The big K was something else entirely.  That bike had the most comfortable OEM seat I've ever had over 40+ years of riding, and with 165 hp, was a beast to ride, but in a good way.  I've always thought the brick-engined K bikes were cool, and if I were to get one, it'd be a K100RS. 

The R100RS I had:




The K1200S I had:

Thanks Charlie, do they bill guzzis as standard twins (or two singles) or do they bill 'em as  a  combo v twin?  Very big price difference.  Have never had barrels coated.  I do plan on ridding the bike a fair amount of miles a year so would prefer to start fresh on heat cycles.

IIRC, they bill Guzzis as two singles, but it's been about five years since I sent them cylinders to replate, so I could be mistaken. Might be best to ask them.

Don’t work on finding the right bike…
Work on becoming the right rider.
