the gerbings gloves I have are prety warm so I may pack those, plus the textile pants I have are prety good at keeping me warm. For me the big question is which jacket to wear since packing 2 may not be feasible.

Yeah- packing a leather jacket probably won't work. Even if you pull the armor out, they're bulky. For 40*, about any glove with a liner would work. Below that is when it gets difficult to keep your digits warm. Ask me how I know... If you don't have grip heaters of some kind, you might look at "Hot Hands" packs.

Not sure which boots to wear yet. I have Sidi Typhoons that are perfect for the cold or wet. JR GPX that are decent riding boots, but not really good for walking, and Sidi Vertigos on the way. Of course I'll pack tennis shoes. Shopping for a digital camera now.

I may be out for the ride down. I broke my hand over the weekend and depending on how it heals I may be driving down either with or without the bike. I'll know closer to the day we leave what shape I'm in so dont count me out yet.

I have a couple extra jackets. I'll bring them so you can trade out if you want. Any other gear you all want me to bring? I have extras if you don't want to pack so much crap for the ride down. For that matter let me know about anything you guys don't want to carry and I'll grab it. I'm in the Suburban so there's plenty of space...

I'm about 6'1 200. If that'll work let me know.

thanx for the offer but I think our main concern now is for the ride down there we will probably make a game time decision as far as what gear to bring/wear.

My right hand, and i have now strength in my ring or pinky, and it hurts to stretch my other 2 fingers, which means i cant grip the throttle ot the front brake. Again, I'm holding my breath, and hopefully will be able to ride down 3 weeks from now.
