I don't know how you all in the north handle going so long not riding with all that snow you get. I sometimes get caught out in snow but here in KY we usually don't get very much. We get a lot of ice I definitely try to stay off of! I did get a great gift this past Christmas. Electric gloves! I left work this morning and it showed 7 degrees at the house. 15 miles to work and felt great when I got there. Of course I would not mind nicer weather too!
That 5th in my pic is a toy hauler. April we're heading for Texas and Moto GP, assuming I get the rig dug out by then. Whenever the missus retires, we'll head out most of January February and March. Here are a couple from April last year:I don't know how you all in the north handle going so long not riding with all that snow you get.

Regarding frozen locks, never tried it myself but I have heard several times over the years that a dollop of hand sanitizer put on the shaft of the key and the surface of lock mechanism/door lock/gas cap/ignition works quite well.I bet that toy hauler is a handful pulling in the snow! Hey here is a random question for all the cold weather riders. I have always had trouble with my key switches freezing up. the ignition and my gas cap. I have been running duck tape over my key locks for years when the key is not in the lock to keep them from freezing going down the road. today i pulled up to a gas pump and my gas cap lock was frozen again! Just wondering what you all do to keep this from happening? I can't tell you how many times I have gotten to work and then can't turn my key off! Of course here in KY we get warm wet days then really cold. that doesn't help any at all with the keys. I need a heated key!
