Hay Peeps

Its getting nippy out so my thoughts turn to cold weather gear. 

Gerbing is the name i hear and wondering which clothing makes sense?

Miles i know you have Gerbing from reading and they are/were up the street from  you =)

This was posted on another site.  Not sure how accurate the info is, or where it came from.  I just like charts.  🤩

Steve, I know everything there is to know about Cold weather riding, and how to get warm and stay warm.

The Gerbing Heated Clothing of old...is no longer.

Long story, which I will tell you the full story in a few weeks, when I deliver your new Sidecar rig, as I drive it from balmy Florida to the freeze zone known as Kansas....in January.

Once I get back home next week, I will lay it all out for you in a detailed email, and phone call, so you know what to buy... just before Xmas.

But... hold off buying anything until I get back home, so I can explain it all to you.

And yes ...I am still using 30 year old Gerbing Heated Clothing, as it still works. I will be using that same heated gear next month when I enter....the freeze zone...aka Kansas in January.

Well, your new dog is certainly not Smiley Cyrus.

Does he ever smile ?

No, the Sidecar itself is not "heated", however there is a heated throw, or blanket that can plug in to the outlets inside the Sidecar. There is also a 3 speed fan built in to the dash of the Sidecar, so can blow air....a bag of ice on hotter days, or a plug in mini heater on colder days.

Um... anything else that King Cyrus would like ?

He would like more food he has just had some gravy and a few bits from my dinner and he wants more =)

They keep dogs skinny in kennels for sure.
