I will tell you what sucks is I lost one of the best gloves i have ever had. I have never lost a glove for my bikes in my life. I didn't wait for Santa though. I just got a new set in the mail. Of course i could not find the same glove but the new ones look good. I will see if long term they are as good as what i had.
Ow.. that sucks. I know that feeling, but it eventually brought me to an even better pair!
Got a pair of Held quatrotempi’s that I use 3 out of 4 seasons. Winter we don’t ride because of road salt.

I have a missing glove as well!! It's a waterproof one. I kept it over the last few years hoping the other will show up.

I don't think it will be before Christmas, but I expect/hope Europe will be open for traveling summer 2021, and if so, I need new textil clothes. The Büse I have are not waterproof anymore.
And a new sleeping bag.
So if I find a good offer over the winter, I will be all over it

What are you adding to you or your bike? It’s officially winter downtime here. Garmin had a $100 off sale on an inreach mini. So I picked one up.

There are huge gaps in cell phone coverage where I ride. Peace of mind.
I've had my S10 for about six months so far and haven't ventured more than about 60 miles from home with her yet.
The wife is getting me a set of Givi Monokey 36L panniers to chuck on the back so we can get down to some real touring.
We live in South Florida so thats still somewhat of an option at this time of year - but lacking the correct gear (and admittedly, the required toughness) we won't be crossing any state lines until some time next spring.

So the wife is getting factory heated grips, wind deflectors, led headlight with extended caps, lied light bar, and a set of highway pegs. She’s pretty much has the rest set up the way she wants. Already has the factory low seat, rox risers, windshield wing, motech bars and factory skid plate. Then we put on the happy trails pannier, factory top box and an electric tank bag that mounts with the ring. That way nothing is touching the paint.
What highway pegs did you buy?

That didn’t workout so well, the clamps were flimsy and broke. So I ended up using a set off a Indian she use to have. Then drill and tapped them to put a bolt through the clamp and into the crash bar/ engine guard. This is strong and works well for her.

I was interested in some Klim gear but after reading lots of reviews from folks saying not to believe Klims warranty because it’s actually worthless because Klim has very rarely repaired or replaced anything for anyone. I most likely won’t be buying any Klim gear.

I dont tend to worry about warranty i look at quality. The Klim gear i have is top drawer. Had it 4 years no sign of wear on it. Looks like new. Never leaked either.
