“I am not a courageous person by nature. I have simply discovered that, at certain key moments in this life, you must find courage in yourself, in order to move forward and live. It is like a muscle and it must be exercised, first a little, and then more and more. A deep breath and a leap.”

Based on their design, surprised Aerostich of Duluth didn't come up with them first. The pants go on similar to the Ridecrafter Suite.  |

Hmm, nice. I might go for those if my old pair finally stop working. The HD branded Gerbing heated pants I show in the video are pretty similar. But they only open up to the knees. Not completely open like those... plus they're no longer available. |

Not completely open like those... plus they're no longer available. those pants on pants are a neat idea if not too pricey. I have used ski bibs that slip on with suspender straps but not always the zippers are long enough on bottom to get on say winter boots or ski boots if going skiing. However, all zippers all the way up is great until the zippers bust and stop working so they best be very heavy duty zippers to last otherwise you have a useless pair of shredded paints like a skirt. |

 Seriously, did you go anywhere? Did you enjoy? Not on my wish list for sure.

Without electrics, you dress up with enough gear to look like the Pillsbury Doughboy, and walk like Gumby. Then, all you need is for someone to help lift your leg over the bike. When done riding, you don't need help getting off, you can just fall off.  |

I used to add a 3rd wheel in addition to the layers, but eventually I got old and stopped riding below 40°  Seriously, did you go anywhere? Did you enjoy? Not on my wish list for sure. Just on a good-natured bet, I went a mile. A live axle setup like on a Ural would be better, but it's not as daring as one might think on a city road with no ditches. If you get stuck you can just hop off on the left side and walk alongside it pushing while the rear spins a little in first. the clutch is right there if you need to let it stop rolling. |

Winter gear? Electric pants? In Wisconsin we don't even put on a sweater until it gets down below 20°   |

Most people don't know it, but this is where the term "blue balls" comes from. Winter gear? Electric pants? In Wisconsin we don't even put on a sweater until it gets down below 20° |

You're too kind. Ex girlfriend who took the picture probably thought something more like, "where the term moron comes from". |

You're too kind. Ex girlfriend who took the picture probably thought something more like, "where the term moron comes from". so that was you in that pic? If so, then I can see why she was your EX-girlfriend..... Now if that was a nice looking female naked shoveling snow, I would be more than glad to go outside and cover her up getting her nice and toasty....  speaking of snow, coming down now looks like finally a 3 inch snowfall coming our way by tomorrow over this 1 inch or less dusting we have only gotten 2-3 times so far this winter.... |

Ever since I posted this it's been about 50 degrees here in Seattle.
If I knew it was that easy to chase winter away I'd have done it a long time ago!

Yup, that's me. Was having fun on this board 12-13 years ago in a similar thread to this one, and when one of our Florida brothers made a comment about it was in the 30's and he was piling on the clothes, I made the comment about in WI we don't even put on a sweater... He called me out on it, and it seemed like a good idea at the time. Some of the old timers around here may still remember that shot BEFORE I added the smiley face, but only after much therapy. As I recall, it only took 5-10 minutes before the feeling came back to the soles of my feet. |

Ha! Well, if you didn't lose any toes (or other parts) to frostbite, I guess it was worth it. Most people don't know it, but this is where the term "blue balls" comes from.
