Dang cold natured beast!!!

I’m eating my words. I rode my new Rocket home today at 29 degrees and my hands got quite cold. The rest of the weekend looks just as bad and want to ride a bit but I’m not sure how enjoyable it would be. If it’s a state of mind the mine is a bit weak.
 
I Just installed heated grips on my B-King.


I'm not sure how I've survived without heated grips thus far. Looks like the Rocket might be rode less in the cold weather now.

Not really.

Winter 1987 - Norwegian North Cape - I froze the muscles in my face - despite the rest of me being very well covered.
OK it was substantially colder than 19F - closer to -13F And some evil wind off the Barents Sea - made it closer to -85 wind chill.

And - this was a holiday.
 
The graph does show the chill factor I had at 105 mph?

I use the NOAA or USCG website to either calculate the wind chill or reference it. Some of my morning rides have been in the negative 30 range in the past few winters. Hopefully the new battery will allow it again.

Those are likely using the "OLD" standard which was from 10 meters above ground in the artic.
The "NEW & IMPROVED" adjusted standard calcs are much warmer.
