I ride in any kind of weather, except ice & black ice. I have a mull face modular black H-D helmet & a "Ninja Mask" that is like a sweater for your face. I bought an XL helmet so I could accomodate things like that. I have the Harley Davidson Arctic Gloves that really do keep my hands comfortable nomatter how cold it is or what the wind chill is. I had to find them on ebay as they are no longer offered at my Harly Store or Harley Davidson on line store. I just dress in layers and have excellent chaps, insulated, with a thinsulate liner that is removable in warmer weather.

Hope this helps Harley Brother.

Anyway, maybe I can get something to work or better yet, it will warm up!

No joke, just make sure you wipe the shaving cream off first LOL

Ive used one of these for over 20 years with just riding glasses and a 3/4 helmet. Sometimes even a 1/2 helmet. It's amazing how well it works. Cheap and easy to pack.

Well, I have a car, and I don't ride every day, but I do ride to work and back. I rode today and it was 26*F this morning and sunny and 40*F this afternoon. I don't go out for a day's riding with the GF in this temp. but I do ride to work and back. He!!, it's only 25mile and about 35 min. or so, I think I could jump in ice water nekked and stand it for half that long. I just don't like to park the bike for the winter that's all. I'm going to try the shaving cream thing tomorrow, if there's not rain in the forcast. Thanks for the tip Springer.
