G. I rock the Keis J505 Extreme heated jacket & Keis G701 heated gloves out of the UK. They have been making this super high quality heated gear for decades. Paid a little over $400 for both. They also make pant liners, socks, and body warmers. I ride a 23’ Tiger 1200 Rally Pro. Have nearly 11,000 miles on it and I’d say 4000 has been in colder temps where I used the heated gear. It has always performed flawlessly. Last long trip was Buffalo, to Northern Vermont. I won’t ride in colder temps without it. And the gear is substantially warm before turning them on. Also, the jacket is a very destination piece as well. Keis is the brand. You won’t be disappointed.

Bike looks great, man! I stop riding when they salt the roads, and start back up again when it's clear :D Other than that, it's all about prep, you're 100% right - cold isn't bad if you've got the right gear :D Great to see you out riding and filming again!

Hey Gil! Awesome to see you riding still. I’m outside of Charlotte and commute 47 miles to work on my 1250GS Exclusive every day:-) Exceptions being rain and or snow ❄️ thankfully it doesn’t get as cold here as up yonder way 😂 I’ve ridden as low as 15°, honestly couldn’t tell the difference between that and 30 lol. Stay safe my brother!

To me, part of the ride is shifting. My ultimate sports car would also be a manual. That’s just my opinion. The DCT is impressive and no doubt quicker in a race. Automatics just aren’t as fun for me. I ride motorcycles because they are fun.

The old Dyna was opened up when he grabbed top gear, that was when the wing effortlessly and elegantly just pulled away... Nice kill I have had the pleasure of toying with a few HD's on my M109R, most of them top out about 110-115 mph.

Good to see you back my friend! It gets cold here in Oklahoma too! I try to stay ready myself, but sometimes its a hot minute till I can ride🤷be safe brother🙏

Yes, we in the GSA family stay ready to ride year round. Temps closer to 40 degrees for me when I went out to ride today. Ride safe.

33° Ouch! Yeah, bruh, that's cold. Glad we have heated gear. Nope...not riding in the white stuff❄. Fortunately, we can ride all year round in Northern Cali, albeit we are in Florida at the moment. Ride safe G.

In Maine, out in 13 F today for 60 miles. As long as no snow or ice on roads I'm good for about 100-150 miles a week during winter. ACF50 for anti corrosion, frequent chain lube, de-icer in my pack for the ignition, battery tender and heavy covers for outside storage. I've experimented on clothing for years and have a great system now.

I keep it ready to go at any time. Any day I want to ride, I'm going to ride. Good to see you out and about in this new year!

I'm with you too, brother! I don't remember if I asked you before, but I have my BMW top and side case from my Preview 1250 GSA sitting in my garage. I'm selling them. If you want them, please don't hesitate to let me know. I'm not too far from you. I'm in Roville Center.

I'm with you...out of Buffalo NY I rode 700 miles from January to March last year it was great. Ride safe and in peace.

In Eastern NC, generally put on tender once a month, ride out a tank of gas same time frame...

I have a r1250gs and Ive ridden across the USA a few times through sandstorms , rain , etc theyre amazing bikes

I love my 2021 GW Trike 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

Dude you sound like a Wendy’s drive thru

I’m a backpacker with hard to break habits, so I wear light comfortable stuff I can layer. Klim Marrakesh jacket and Rally airbag vest I wear year-round with LD Comfort base layer, light windstopper liner, and Warm n Safe heated liner and touring gloves. Pants are DYNS jeans over Bohn Armor “pantyhose” (my wife still points and laughs), and thermals when it’s cold. Not happy with my boots and I’m looking around.

My heated gear is a mixed bag. Hotwired jacket liner with Warn n Safe touring gloves, and the heat controller mounted on my handlebar. When I upgraded, I wanted to keep my liner because I’ve had it since 2018, so no need to spend $$ to replace it. The hotwired gloves, however didn’t last. I also like Warm n Safe’s dual (separate liner and gloves) remote rheostat knob controller I mount on my handlebars. Very easy adjust heat levels on the fly compared to the hotwired buttons. If my hotwired liner ever fails or wears out, I will replace it with a Warm n Safe liner with nothing else to buy. Normally, different brands are not compatible when mixed, but Ken Phenix in Colorado reworked the power supply on my liner, and he has great prices on Warm n Safe products.

I have heated grips on my Triumph Tiger 800 and the wind comes up ⬆️ under the bark busters and freezes your finger tips even with high grip heat on in 30 - 40 degree weather…no fun. I just ordered this same model and look forward to trying next week. Of course now that I spent the money I expect a winter heat wave here in Virginia next week.

Have a road king and GL 1800. Both are fun. But Goldwing will do to HD what you did. See ya 😊

Do you feel like you can ride that Sargeant seat several hundred miles in a day with no problem?

I would think the GSA has heated grips.

With the brand that you have, I would replace if it is not under Warranty. Once you try to repair Heat Elements it's time to replace, just like the Old-skool Stoves back in the Days LOL.... I have the Brand 'First Gear" now called "Warm & Safe" which has a Lifetime Warranty on there product. I'm on the same gear for now over 8 Years. Always a pleasure to watch your Vlogs.

I have used WarmNSafe heated gear for five years with no problems. Have the Jacket and pants liners + socks. Previously used First Gear more then 10 years. Got burned once by a Gerbing jacket liner but it was about 15 years old. Like an external controller with two channel controls mounted on the bike.

Good topic. I’ve had my First Gear Heated gear since 2011 with no faults and it’s still going strong. When it fails I’ll replace it with another set. Lots of good brands out there so buy whatever suits you… no pun intended.

Guess I've been lucky so far. Had the same Hot Wired top and bottom liners since 2018 and no problems. I do think about what if they fail out on a trip but usually a Walmart isn't to far away for some extra layers until I find a Cycle Gear.

Gerbing USA or Warm & Safe are getting great reviews. Repair 3x you’re out. These type under-layer products that need to fit “on the snug side” for optimal heat transfer need a deep dive into the reviews. Iron Butt, BMW Touring sites, etc. Safe miles of smiles G.

I been using gerbing for almost 20 yrs and not once has it ever failed me I replaced only once and it was really only for getting improved tech and maybe I replace the gloves every 5yrs and only because they made better gloves so for me I am sticking with gerbing love their products and I'm a person who hates to he cold i have the full heated gear jacket pants gloves and even insoles and i can ride in Temps 30 degree have road in as cold as 25 degree i ride all yr around

I dont use heated gear. But i think anything with a 3 replacements in 5 years, record. I wojld try a different brand or find another option. Thay seems like a frequent failure rate.

Hey, great to see you recording again, G! I have never repaired heated gear. I only have heated gloves anyway, but when one went bad, I got the pair replaced under warranty. With wiring, I find when it's small wires and they break, it's time to buy a new item.

Links for The Best Heated Gear Please Sir I Can't Take The Cold!!! Love Your Videos Your Moto Vlogs Are Pure Therapy Brother!!!

I wish I could use these but I fear they would hit the windshield or fairing on my cruiser at full lock.

thank you for the response , it was helpful

Time to put on those Hippo Hands.

thanks for the review , please what kind of windshield is that ? and do you recommend it for a long ride day ?

I just bought a 2018 DCT Honda with 3800 miles for a great price DCT because of your videos: I love the DCT (still kieeping my Victory Cross Country).

Have fun!

My 202 miled 2023 R1250 GS Demo was not quite the complete package, until I added a BMW Nav VI, Clearwater Darla's and Billie Brake light, Touratec Stainless Steel 4 point cylinder head guards, and a year end sale on BMW Vario Side Bags, with locks for $900 additional out the door. 5.2 gallons is enough for most anything I do. 550 # for a touring bike as nice as the BMW is nice. For bigger day rides, I sold the Sport Glide and picked up a BMW 1250 RT. An absolutely beautiful Sport Touring bike.

Waiting on mine to get delivered. Thanks for the ride along!!!

7.5 beats the 5.5 we deal with in the GW!

Words from the man, the myth & legend. A reminder of all things wonderful about two wheeled travel. A beautiful moment in time captured here for posterity purposes. So that future generations will also learn & benefit from this magic.

Show full front and backsides of yourself in the leather jacket and Levi’s or motorcycle gear at the gas pump☹️☹️☹️

Gotta give credits to the Dyna guy for taking it head on without a shield…

I love all motorcycles no matter the manufacturer or the style. Every time I throw my leg over a motorcycle it’s a new adventure and has become such a large part of my life. Keep up the great videos ride safe. 😊

Let’s goooo!!!

I play with HD’s on my ST1300. They typically have no chance on the acceleration if they are stock.

Upgraded to a Sargent seat and miles better for me. The stock seat was too much like sitting on a log. Also my Bike is the most beautiful… get outta here with that not the most beautiful talk!!!!

My wife can drive it and thats the only reason for the purchase

The two wheel motorcycle is so antiquated. I will absolutely spend my money on a dct goldwing

Why is you DCT people have to always challenge people still wanting a manual and call us them same age person call us like some kind of dinosaur who can't take change Just because something changes and becomes a new technology and new things around doesn't make it better or doesn't make it more importantly what suits your taste and what you want and you like I've written at the DCT I'm impressed in a sense it was cool but I hate how it feels and I hate how it sounds and I love being able to blip throttle and have fun and play and slip clutches and do different things with a manual Just like my Corvette I love my stick shift Corvette the c8 went to an automatic DCT I will never ever buy that car and I have zero interest in it it might as well be a Malibu or something or a just some regular sedan it's boring so enjoy your DCT and ignore the manual people cuz we're not thinking about you
