Warm legs

[redrider]

Cycle Gear sells medium weight motocross socks that come above the knee. They do a good job of keeping warmth in when your knees are in the breeze.

And why one g for leg and two for egg?

 Eggzactly what is your question about?

Or, take some older socks, cut them off at the ankles and there you go. Or ask your wife for an extra pair of leggings.

Long bicycle pants work very well for cool weather and don't just keep you lower legs warm.  They're tight fitting so they don't add much bulk, and they're usually a satin material, so the pants over them slide on easily and don't bunch up.

Yoga pants. I found a winter weight/micro fleece lined offering at Target. The store brand Champion ones are the bee's knees. Just as good as underarmor, 1/3 the cost.

Now that's cheap, even by Guzzi Geezer standards!  :)

Tucano Urbano Termoscud R154

That is an especially good idea, air exhausts for the radiator are sides of the leg shield, so, the air space under that cover is actually HEATED!


I actually thought about getting one of those for my GTS.   That, along with heated gloves and jacket line would make for a cozy winter ride.

The Termoscud will be mounted on a Vespa GST250ie. The is the R154 model and can be found on ebay UK. The intent of the Termoscud is to provide:
1. Wind protection
2. Rain protection
3. Maintain warmth of the operators lower extremities, by retaining the Vespa's radiator heated air outflow into the foot cavity
The discussion will be divided into a couple of parts, this includes:
1. looksee of the product
2. OEM installation on a Vespa GTS 250ie
3. couple attach modifications on bike and skirt
4. couple modifications to suit requirements for stowage
5. Overall observations and review

  In my younger days I used a lap robe, many did, even a part of issue on police bikes in Portland Oregon.

 By keeping the legs warmer, the feet stay warmer too.  The warmer blood circulates on down.  My lap robe
 was fastened on to the crash bar and trailed around the sides.  Up on the lap, it could be tucked under the lower edge of a jacket  so that rain was not allowed to dampen the rider either.  I didn't have to dress so heavily so upon dismounting
 I could still walk unencumbered.  This is why the police liked them.  They could jump off the bike and do a foot pursuit.
 I always wondered why they went out of style.

I had to google that. Don't believe I have ever seen one.

The Freeze out gear cycle gear sells works very well and like everything at CG is always on sale.

I've been pleased that my legs have stayed a bit warmer with the heat from the engine than in my previous beemers.

For cold days, a combination of long johns, jeans & rain pants seem to work well. Then if it warms up, the rain pants can go in a side bag.
