My Favorite Cold Weather Motorcycle Riding Hacks: Tips for Riding a Motorcycle in the Winter

The summer has ended and cold weather motorcycle riding season is upon us. If, like me, you're lucky enough to live in a place where winter motorcycle riding is possible, you're probably on the look out for some cold weather motorcycle riding tips and winter motorcycle riding hacks to help you stay as warm and comfortable as possible, so your winter motorcycle riding trips can be longer and more enjoyable.

I've spent a few years winter riding and I've picked up a few lesser-known cold weather motorcycle riding hacks that I'd love to share with you.

My first motorcycle winter riding tip is handguards. Most of us run them on our dual sport and adventure bikes already, but you can really increase their effectiveness by using one of these super underrated cold weather motorcycle handguards:

The second of my cold weather motorcycle gear tips is layers. Yes, that's obvious, but there are some underrated places you can layer up that have been super effective for me.

My third cold weather riding tip is about motorcycle helmet visor fogging.
Pinlock inserts are great, but they're not the end all be all. A few items that have helped me:

Other tips for riding a motorcycle in the winter include heated grips and gear, both amazing and effective options. When using heated grips, specially designed gloves like the Racer Tour FHH Waterproof Gloves can make your heated grips more effective: https://www.racerglovesusa.com/collec...
