Rev’It Fahrenheit H2O waterproof winter motorcycling gloves (Gibberish is my native language (DrFaulken)) by drfaulken

I put the Rev'It Fahrenheit H2O waterproof gloves through a torture test. The gloves are well made and are very comfortable, but they can't keep my hands warm below 45F, even with heated grips and hand guards.

Still a little damp (Gibberish is my native language (DrFaulken)) by drfaulken

The first half of my ride home from Georgia was great. I was moving along at a good clip, and the sun was bright and shining. That is, until I got to Fayetteville, North Carolina. Fayetteville seems to be the tipping point for bad motorcycle weather. On my trip down, my route south of Fayetteville was completely [...] Posted in: boots , cayenne pro , frogg toggs , gear , georgia , gloves , jacket , kevlar , motoport , motorcycling , pants , r1150r , rain , rev'it , ride report , smartwool , socks , textile , winter miles

October 2008 Georgia motorcycle trip report (Gibberish is my native language (DrFaulken)) by drfaulken

As mentioned earlier, I spent four days on a motorcycle trip to see two of my friends outside of Savannah, Georgia. It’s almost five hundred highway miles, which winds up being between eight to nine hours depending on traffic, weather conditions, and the bike I’m on. My best time was on my first trip on [...] Posted in: boots , cayenne pro , georgia , gloves , jacket , kevlar , motoport , motorcycling , pants , r1150r , rain , rev'it , ride report , sidi , textile , winter miles

A little damp (Gibberish is my native language (DrFaulken)) by drfaulken

The first half of my trip down to Georgia was fantastic. It was cool enough that I wasn’t hot in my Rev’It Cayenne Pro jacket, but not so cold my hands were freezing. It was overcast enough that I didn’t have to squint behind my Native sunglasses, but not so overcast that I had to [...] Posted in: boots , cayenne pro , frogg toggs , gear , georgia , helmet , jacket , kevlar , mesh , motoport , motorcycling , pants , r1150r , rain , rev'it , ride report , sidi , smartwool , socks , textile

Decisions, decisions …. (Gibberish is my native language (DrFaulken)) by drfaulken

I was supposed to go visit my family up in Syracuse, NY this weekend. I was going to ride Raider up there and then putter around with my stepfather. I quickly encountered two monkey wrenches. 1) The bike my dad owned does not have a state inspection. Neither does Raider, but he won’t ride without a [...] Posted in: bluetooth , gear , georgia , intercom , motorcycling , new york , rain , winter miles

Remembering Ghost Rider, 2008 (Gibberish is my native language (DrFaulken)) by drfaulken

My friend Ghost Rider passed away on July 4th, 2007. The following fall his mother and family put together a benefit ride to Yorktown, Virginia. We did it again this year, this time heading up to the Blue Ridge Parkway. The weather called for rain for most of the day. I was not deterred for [...] Posted in: frogg toggs , gear , gm68s , kevlar , motoport , motorcycling , pants , r1150r , rain , ride report , sidi , teknic , textile

Hanna: rock me like a hurricane? (Gibberish is my native language (DrFaulken)) by drfaulken

Today will be the twenty-third day in a row I ride my motorcycle to work. Not a bad streak, eh? There’s only one problem: tropical storm Hanna is expected to hit my area sometime this evening. With weather prediction being as flaky as it is, that could mean it could show up early while I [...] Posted in: fz6 , motorcycling , rain , work
