Been there done that. I bought my first Big Dog (04 chopper) in Feb 2006. It was 15 degrees outside. I was so pumped. I wore double gloves, full face helmet, jacket with liner, long johns, double socks...... It was only 18 or so miles to the dealer ship, a 20 minute ride..... I could handle it.... right?
Half way home I couldn't feel anything, by the time I got home my fingers and hands were stinging so bad I couldn't stand it. Hands down the longest ride of my life.
The highs stayed in the mid to high teens for another two or three weeks. All I could do was go into the garage, sit on it, and pretend.
