Any idea how I can get rid of that?

Not sure how you are inserting the link. I use "copy & paste" method. So I would delete the redundant IMG tags before posting the reply...

Too hardcore for me.
Much under 50 degrees and I go to 4 wheels with a heater.
I don't drive a car so since I was old enough to ride, I have never not ridden through the winter. The weird thing is I definitely don't get as cold these days as when I was a nipper. I'm still wearing pretty much the same riding gear as when I was sixteen - Leather jacket and denim jeans, unless I'm going very fast when I replace the denim with leather and waxed cotton over the top when it rains. I never wear a full face helmet... I sing as I ride and a full face lid would deafen me!
I'm actually using a Bucco replica at the moment. It's a nice comfortable hat, but it has magic amplification qualities that mean the engine and all it's rattles literally sound louder than with no hat at all! It's merciless on a long run!

Once I got an electric vest for winter riding, life got 100% better.

I've made a few attempts at posting a picture today. If this has worked, it's my old sidevalve Norton, which as you can see gets used EVERY day regardless of the weather.

He's left handed. Sorry, different thread lolHey - your hack is on the wrong side!
Yea a Commando is a bit of a handful to ride home without one. I've done it and that was on an 850 Interstate; but it got very fraught at road junctions!
The most spectacular journey I made with a broken clutch cable was on my Royal Enfield Interceptor. Not only had the clutch cable broken, but the kick start pedal had fallen off too.... And my girlfriend at the time was riding pillion.... I had to bump start it, but because I couldn't stop once the motor was running, every time I came to a junction and had to stop, we had to do synchronized running and jumping on to get moving again!

Your suppose to keep a spare cable coiled up in the headlight. Even I had to buy a heated liner, does make the New Year ride a lot nicer. When It gets into the 90s, is when I start taking the truck, turn the AC to Antarctica!Here's what happens when a Norton loses it's clutch in LA. Nowhere near as fun as your pics...
