Rode the bike yesterday to put it away. Literally a few hundred feet away from the house started to drizzle, which made me feel unsettled due to cold tires and cold ground to begin with. Said screw it, I’m already on the way and this is the best chance I got at putting it away. (25 mile trip or so). A few miles later started pouring so I had to pull over and put the phone into the jacket water proof pocket and take it out of the soaked jeans. Kept on riding. Wasn’t the worst/coldest I’ve ever rode but definitely discomforting and having little to no traction (did the foot test on occasion by dragging it against the ground to see how slippery it is, might as well have been ice). Locked it up just as the sun fell. There is still snow in Knox area due to colder temperatures. Babying around the corners isn’t fun. I want summer back ☹ ---

I doubt you will find deals in the winter. I strongly suggest bark busters (not sure if they make them for R6’s), heated grips like I just got on ebay for ~$10 shipped and what every adventure rider raves about but you may look a bit silly. > **[Hippo Hands: motorcycle hand covers for warm dry hands in any weather](https://www.hippohands.com/)** > > Hippo Hands are the original motorcycle hand cover. They keep hands warm and dry while riding in inclement weather by shedding wind, rain, sleet and snow. Ride with warm hands on cold days. Extend your riding season! ---

Riders discount, Call up TJ or Mike and ask them about gloves. I piked up a set of alpinestar GP Pro’s a year ago for a VERY fair price I paid a lot less then retail. I’m sure they will have something. ---

Unloaded the bike today so it’s in the barn and ready to ride any time. Cold tire spun a bit crossing the road from where we unloaded it to where I was putting it though. :rofl ---
