Wednesday, nice & sunny forecast wasn't it! So I get one last sunny day blast in and head off up to Oxford, to the company I'm working for. All's going well when my fingers get a little painful and I look at the speedo :O 2.5°C and the snowflake is flashing on the display. Don't think the BT-003 RS tyres were designed for those temperatures, handling was well rubbish.

What's the coldest weather you've ridden in?

I once got caught out and ended up coming home in the dark with a black visor and was frozen solid by the time I got home...was singing and screaming inside my lid trying to keep warm (and yes ok I was crying too but I'm a girl!) and my mate had to un-attach my hands from the handlebars when I got home!

But it probably wasn't very cold at all, I'm just a woos...and the tears were cos I couldn't see a damned thing and very nearly rode into a wall!!!

Dont know what the temperature was but my hands and feet had turned to lumps of iron and when i got home my core temperature must have been so low cos I could not get warm and was shivering like fook. I decided to have a bath and noticed one of my toes had turned green and it took 45 mins in the bath for it to regain the correct colour

Snowing and 28 in Colorado. Which was graciously followed by 78 and sunny that same day once I made it down from the Rockies.

Some morning commutes begin with ~18 but I stay warm by dodging sleepy, distracted cagers.

Just received . Also bought battery and charger to see if the capasity is sufficient. And soles that connect directly to the vest. Plan to use it for winter motorcycling, skiing (alpine not cross country) and whenever it's just to cold to be outside...but i still have to be there.

Not tested it yet but this girl looks hot so should be OK
