38 in Sanbornton. Hey roger you need heated grips and an electric vest you will love em, But the frost & black ice will not melt as you pass over. Nothing more Frightening as feeling your bike get squirrley underneath when you skim over a little frozen surface!!! I usually ride until the salt hits the road. Nothing worse then riding home late and seeing a salt truck out salting the unexpected patches. Ride safe & enjoy the fall weather.
What do you have for a bike? Mine is an '07 Kawasaki VN900 classic LT. With the price of gas as high as it is, I plan on riding for as long as I safely can. At the moment the wild life is my main concern. I've had a couple of close with deer this year so I really look for them while riding. It should get easier to spot them with the brush and shrubs along side the road dying off for the season. They can't jump in front of you from seemingly out of nowhere
I have a set of gloves I purchased online that plug directly into the battery. To turn them on, there's a switch mounted under the gas tank. When I feel I need to turn them on, I reach down, flip the switch and walla, warm hands. As long as my hands are warm, I can bundle up enough to keep the rest of me warm. If I had known yesterday morning was that chilly, I would have worn them. That's what one gets for not paying attention to the thermometer before leaving for work at 6:30am. You ride safe too, keep it on 2 wheels. Roger
