I was confused. I read #1. I finally got it - you're a fellow motorcycle rider, winter is approaching, and you're exhorting us all not to expect fairings! Sound advice too, should you happen to borrow or rent someone else's motorcycle and be suddenly faced with a long, cold ride without the benefit of any kind of wind protection. [ Lots more rules deleted, all referring back to the rule about not expecting wind-chill protection ] Sound advice here. Remember, a good pair of gloves (leather, not wool! Wool may look warm but does nothing to keep the wind out!), a thick muffler and a thick padded jacket will save you from looking like Frozen-zombie-from-beyond-the-grave-man when you dismount your trusty steed 50 miles later and find that you're barely unable to detach your frozen fingers from the throttle. Weather may turn cold, and long distance winter motorcycle commutes may continue unabated, but of those of us who take sound advice of Jesus to heart, many are cold but few are frozen.
