Cool stuff.

The only fun thing I ever learned about snow cycling was, when you fell off, it was usually into a snow bank.

this provided:
Cushion, instant ice pack, thermal insulation, cold beverage, shelter from the wind, and ammunition for hand formed projectiles.

On a more intelligent note,,,,,-
HD did finally come out with heated handgrips.

Such innovation is mind shattering!! <|:-)~~

I always thought that Indian and Harley were missing a bet with the footboards [rather than pegs] being a dandy place for a nice adjustable heater to keep boots warm in wintertime. That, plus a little shielding in the toe area, could have really cut down on the wind chill problems for wintertime riders.

Of course, on my old BMW R-60/2, the offset cylinders happily kept one's feet qyuite warm in the winter. And summer....
