Thermal base layer from Rev'It! About as toasty as it gets..

REV IT performance motorcycle underwear has a bit of cult following: If you tried it, you are unlikely to go back to another option. This long sleeved top is purpose-built for colder days, wicking away moisture from your skin (keeps you warmer as a result), heavier panels where warmth especially matters, and an anti-bacterial finish to maintain freshness. The 3D knitting technology minimises the need for seams in the manufacture which means more comfort and the garment retains it shape after washing.

Rev'It! Thermal baser layer- £44.99

The Rev'It Glacier top and bottoms were awarded the Adventure Bike Rider highest score in their 2013 comparative test, ahead of EDZ, Spada Chill Factor & Oxford Layers (9/10 among 8 products tested): "Snug fitting thermal that does not require anything underneath ... seamless 3D knit for comfort and the arm seams are flat-lock, to prevent digging in ... thicker knit at the elbows and shoulders, to retain warmth, as joints lose heat more quickly ... anti-bacterial, to keep it odour free if worn for prolonged periods."

Winter care tips from GetGeared #5: Looking after your chain

The chain- delivers the power the engine creates, takes a lot of hammer, needs a bit of TLC especially this time of year. They're either getting bashed by the salt and gunk from the roads or sitting in a shed / garage awaiting better weather, trying hard not to corrode. We stock a whole range of products to keep your chain from pain - before we pick one or two to focus on check out our range here

We've just started stocking Petronas products, and we have to say we're very impressed with the quality. Here are two great products that will sort out your chain nicely- both for a combined price of under £12!

Clean the chain

Chain cleaner for your motorcycle: Excellent cleaning and degreasing properties with rapid evaporation. Does not damage seals and is ideal for chains with or without O-rings.

Easy to use: Shake the can, spray on the chain and allow to soak. Wipe with a dry cloth, then lubricate with Petronas chain lubricant.

Winter care tips for your motorcycle #4: Cleaning without water

Regardless of if you ride all/some/none of Winter giving your bike a thorough wash before popping it away it will not only ensure that it looks good when you next take it out but it'll help keep the finish from corroding. Make sure that you dry your bike thoroughly; once that's done, Give this stuff a go: ACF-50.  This will help protect the bike from corrosion. If you don't have a good motorcycle cover for your bike, it's a good idea to invest in one.

But, messing around with hose pipes and buckets of water in this weather isn't ideal- that's why I've started using the Petronas Durance Bike Cleaner.

No water required! cleans, polishes- One cloth to clean, one cloth to dry. I actually got the idea from my Dad would you believe- he cleans his 4wd all the time with this stuff, never a hose in sight and it looks spotless.

Petronas Durance Bike Cleaner- water not required £6.49

• Water-free motorcycle cleaner & polish from Petronas
• Ideal for painted surfaces including plastic, chrome, & rubber surfaces

Clean and polish your motorcycle with no water required: Great for those who haven't got easy access to hose pipes or have to lug buckets of water up and down the stairs of the flat block. This formula cleans and polishes your motorcycle and every part of it! It can be used on rubber, painted surfaces, plastic and chrome. Simply spray on, work a small area at a time with a clean cloth. Use another clean cloth to remove. Easy peasy!

Winter care tips from GetGeared #3: Looking after your battery

A few years ago I went to start my Honda Transalp after it'd been standing for less than a month- dead as a Dodo. Stood there in all my gear with a dead bike. Invested in a charger like the one below and what a difference! It nurtured the battery and, after weeks of non-use, the bike would start immediately. No stuttering, spluttering, sounds of battery draining... No standing there with fingers crossed, pressing the starter button, hoping that the bike would start before the battery finally coughed out it's last bit of charge. Superb.

Have a look at this charger- it'll be one of the best things you've bought for your bike.

Oxford Oximiser Battery Optimiser 3x

• Re-designed and tested in the UK with 2 year warranty
• Soft-start charging mode for batteries as low as 8volts
• Suitable for all 12V automotive batteries inc. Lithium LifeP04

Oxford Oximiser 3X Advanced Battery Management System.

Maintain the life of your battery with this 8 stage automatic battery management system. With crocodile clips, weatherproof fuse holder, wall bracket & screws, plus a permanent connector with weatherproof cap all included as standard, this is the perfect set for any rider. 

Techy stuff:

• Soft touch rubberised case for improved grip and ruggedness
• Suitable for all 12V automotive batteries including Lithium LifeP04
• Re-designed and tested in the UK using top quality long-life components
• Intelligent charging will cycle-charge to recover sulphated batteries
• New voltage sensors quickly detect high current drain and will automatically revert to the most appropriate charge rate
• Fast and efficient charging in all modes keeps charge times short and reduces mains power consumption
• A sort-start charging mode to improve recovery of deeply discharged batteries as low as 8volts 

Extra TOP TIP from GetGeared:  If your bike storage location is bare concrete, we suggest using a piece of plywood, MDF, or old thick carpet to put the bike on. This will insulate the bike from becoming damp.

Winter care tips from GetGeared #2: Greasing!

There are motorcyclists that ride every day regardless of the weather, and there are bikers, like me, who ride the bike more frequently during Spring, Summer and Autumn. I do ride in Winter, but I tend to pick and choose my days. 

The bike therefore is standing for periods of time, sometimes a couple of weeks or more if the weather is really bad. If you do ride this time of year it's essential to clean off all the salt and muck before parking it up- to avoid corrosion! One product I do recommend to blitz corrosion is ACF-50, in spray or grease format.

I like the grease- and tend to grease the following without fail: Battery terminals, locks, calipers, hinges, bearings and more- the more the merrier. Naturally stay away from brakes of course! This grease is superb- take a look:

ACF-50 high performance grease, marvellous stuff, £10.99 for 454g!

All the advantages of ACF-50 spray in grease form: You've heard of ACF-50 and now here's their grease form of it. Ideal for anywhere that you'd usually use grease: Bearings, callipers, hinges, locks, battery terminals and more.

The great ACF-50 performance: This grease uses exactly the same technology as the spray: It prevents corrosion for 12-18 months and kills existing corrosion. This stuff is awesome for protecting electronics and used as a light lubricant. The grease is also a bright blue colour so that it is easy to identify amongst your electronics and other parts.

Corrosion Block has superior features:

1. It is a superior anti-corrosion compound
2. It kills existing corrosion in progress
3. It prevents new corrosion cells from forming for 12-18 months
4. It is an excellent penetrant
5. It is an excellent light lubricant
6. It is non conductive & excellent for protecting electronics

EXTRA TOP TIP: If you're bike is standing for a while, pop a food bag / sandwich bag over the exhaust and secure it with an elastic band. Prevents unwanted pests making a cosy home in your bike!

Consider these for superb hand warmth for under £30!

OJ Scooter / motorcycle Muffs Mini Pro Hand WP- £29.99

Universal muffs for motorcycles and scooters

• Universal muffs for motorcycles & scooters
• Semi-rigid neoprene-like material
• Easy to fit with no tightening straps
• Soft panel window to operate switches
• Large reflective panels


See them here
 
In particular scooters and maxi-scooters where the grips extend out straight from a fairing section make it hard to fit traditional handlebar muffs. If that is your scooter, these muffs are brilliant. Shaped a little like an oversized boxing glove, the neoprene-like material is insulating from the bitter cold. A circular opening fits over the grips and the elasticity of the neoprene keeps the muffs in place. A smaller opening is pulled over the brake and clutch levers. And the indicator switches are accessed using a panel on the inside of the muffs with thinner material to allow your thumbs easy control while riding. While the manufacturers say these are for any motorbike or scooter (and they are correct in this), we brought them in in particular for scooters and maxi-scooters where the cockpit and grips do not allow the easy fitting of traditional motorbike handlebar muffs.

 
If you are considering these for your motorcycle: All the benefits stand and the design means that you are not forced to pull a section of the muffs over the indicator switch housing and the oil reservoir. For motorbikes with grip ends fitted, the muffs are delivered with 2 washers that can be used to secure the muff to the side of the grips, using the grip end bolts; see page two of the fitting instructions
