Ride safe Captain!Kinda late on this, BUT >
Wavy has cardboard taped to his handlebars near the levers, to provide a windbreak for his hands during his 32 degrees trip to FL, he still has them taped on
IF you can keep the wind off & out, you`re TWO Steps ahead!!!
Enjoy the sunrise, I`m headed out
Hmmm, just remembered. There is a Rural King on US 40 just past Seelyville on the east edge of Terre Haute.If you happen upon a Rural King on the way to Marshall, they might have gauntlet gloves in their motorcycle leather section. At least they do down here in Evansville. They are around $20.
You were shivering pretty good when you got to Greencastle the way it was...:-(Well. It turned out even colder than forecasted. 34 degrees this morning. It was suggested to me ( by Scaredofmyownshadow) in this thread to go to Rural King and pick up some gloves (gauntlet type) there so that is what I did. The local store opened just as I was leaving so I stopped in and bought a nice heavy pair. They were on sale too! Not sure I could have made the trip without them.

Got sunburned on my face too.The really weird part of the day was despite the cold start of the day I managed to come home with a sun burnt face. The sun shining in the afternoon while waiting in line for a burger must have been enough to burn me. I've got a red nose and forehead today. Go figure.

I believe that was me... I remember both of us about the same time saying something like, DOH we're standing in the shade.LOL...
Eventually...
We met up with Jason and Mike at a gas station a little north and west of Moonshine.
We had all just climbed off our bikes and were cold.
I even remember hearing someone say... "I'm Cold"
For whatever reason we were standing in the SHADE.
After about a minute, I realized how stupid we were all being and walked all of eight feet to find the sun beaming intensely.
What a bunch of Morons! :mrgreen:
