If you're riding in the winter and don't have a fairing on your bike, you might want to check out Brukus Motorcycle Parts' WingShields for Harleys and Metrics. Go here to see a Motorcycle Wind Chill Chart developed by the National Center for Atmospheric Research. Stay Warm and Keep the Rubber Side Down! The Big Brukus brukus.com info@brukus.com |

Chart was kinda interesting. It appears that at speeds greater than 40mph, there is zero increase in wind chill factor. Also, with air temps above 90F, a wind speed of 10+mph actually makes it feel warmer instead of cooler (5deg F hotter feeling at just 30mph @ air temp=100F)? |

When my left knee hurts, its cold. When my face and neck turn bright red its hot, i don't need a chart to tell me this but it was interesting though thanks for the science info. |

Didn't realize that at a certain point it actually got hotter at highway speed. Guess I been living in the cold to long... ned to go ride where it's over 100 degrees. |

It is a nice Balmy -7 degree's with the wind chill as I head for home. Good thing for heated gear! |

If it's too cold (the ice scraping kind), I don't ride. If it is just cold, usual leather and heavier gloves. If its warm, my usual protection. If it's hot, the cool vest goes on under my mesh jacket and its on the road. Chart? What chart. |

Seriously, I paid attention to the charts in Alaska. Down here, not so much. |

Wearing chaps actually channels the cold air, right to "that" spot. Riding in a cold rain, jeez, I thought the hands and feet were the first things to get cold...not so. Shiver me timbers!!! Ride Free (and warm) Tweek |
