    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Improvised cold weather gloves report

I found out the nitrile gloves I have at home fit perfectly over my silk liners and under my regular leather gloves. The dexterity with the nitrile is pretty good, in fact, I'm typing this with them on. When I get a chance, I'm gonna test it out on the road.

I can wear less gear with the heated vest. I can wear my summer weight gloves until about 50 degrees F, and I can wear my regular touring boots until about 40F.

Good point on the vest. Is it also a two-way street? It seems it should also easier to keep the core temp up if the extremities are warm.

What do you slednecks consider the warning sign for slowing brain? Uncomfortably cold, or any degree of cold sensation?

It's almost impossible to get cold on a snowmobile. Riding one is 100 times more physical than riding a streetbike. Almost all sleds have heated handgrips, and you sit with your feet in little footwells right next to the smoking hot motor. If you are cold on a sled you are doing it all wrong. I've ridden when it was 20 below zero and the biggest problem is staying dry with all the sweating you do.

Anytime you holler "Hey guys watch this" That's a real good sign your brain has either slowed down from the cold or is under the influence of some other mind altering substance.
