Gloves.
I live do east of you and yesterday it was 36 when I left the house 60 on in the afternoon I was warm all day. You need three season gear in north Florida.

That said you're not gonna not much sympathy for north Florida winters around here. Theses guys ride in real winter!

I figured the northern guys wouldn't give me much sympathy. Lol. I had on "winter" gloves. But winter gloves sold at the place in Tallahassee are probably good for about 50degrees if riding more than 30 minutes. I do admit that my hands get cold easily. Sometimes I believe that my 84 year old mother's hands can tolerate cold better. [emoji23]

Its already riding season here in Vegas. For the last few days temps have been in the low seventies. The normal is 61.62 degrees. It is supposed to be in the low 70's again next week. February usually comes in like this. At the end of this month we have the annual Vegas HighRollers Weekend Scooter weekend with the vintage Vespas and Lambrettas. I have learned though that the last weekend of February tends to get very cold with highs in the low 50's.

Yes. And Tallahassee is even worse. I just bought this thing. And I'm anxious to simply RIDE. It's supposed to only get down to 50 tonight. And it's supposed to get to 70+ tomorrow. I'll tough it out in the A.M. I'm ridin' !

Nice mild riding weather Trout. It will be in the 80s and 90s down south. El Nino. Darn, it's February. Enough of this.. They say it rain again soon.

I have cabin fever real bad.
I want some warm sunny days to ride.
Where I am, it is in the teens and twenties with snow and ice.
Every day I look at my GT sitting in the garage and think about riding.

I live in Florida and my sister is still in Iowa.  We were talking yesterday, and, it is interesting the way a persons opinion of what is cold changes over the years.

I guess Florida makes me soft. Lol. I was born in July, the heat of the summer. And my hands get COLD easily. If it's below 50, they eventually get numb even standing outside with no wind. Today I drove to work. It was about 48. I had on gloves with the "hot hands" warmers inside. By the time I got to work they were numb. I guess next winter I'll buy those heated gloves.

Does anyone use heated gloves? What about the ones with the lithium batteries?

I use Oxford Hot Hands Over grips.  They work great for me but my windscreen completely shields my hands.  I use military thermal trigger mittens with fleece liner gloves.  Completely comfortable into the low, 30s. If I didn't have the wind screen  I would definitely have heated gloves.  I hear Gerbing makes good ones.

Thanks again Mr. Paul. You just don't know how helpful you've been to me in just the short time I've owned my scooter. I'll check them out. Because it's nearly spring time, I'm debating whether to buy them now vs getting some summer riding gear  and waiting until next fall or whenever I have some extra cash to buy the gloves. I'll likely be bothering you concerning the best combination of price and quality of summer riding jackets and some over pants that I can wear over my lightweight summer clothing. Thanks again.
