Re: [ST] Twas 35 degrees out tonight and my gear didn't cut it! :-p

[Bryce <bster13@xxxxxxxxx>]

haha, 27 layers...just about correct there Al. :-p

That was just the new gear I was buying I already have
a baclava for my head and neck (though I should add a
gator for jsut my neck after last night) 

Windscreen might help for my head/neck area, but hands
were the major issue last night.

How much of a discount do you think the motorcycle
shows can get u on equipment like this?

Thanks,

Bryce
