    I used to back in the day (~'05), even with a 27 mile one-way commute. With a 20k employee company, and motorcycle parking right up front in a gated parking garage, there were NEVER more than 5 bikes, ever!! When it was cold, it was just me, and maybe one other guy. I rode everything from a GSXR 1000 to a DR650 dual-sport.

    I have been slammed with work the past few days and haven't had much time. I was planning on riding later this evening but probably won't get off until 7ish.

    I wish. Mines getting painted right now.

    My body is fine in the 50s, just my hands freeze. Think I need something other than textile for the cooler days.

    <<<<<<<< ride every day rain/shine, hot/cold year round. There may be a total of 2 weeks worth of days that I dont ride.

    I've been thinking about getting some wind guards for my handlebars (like on a KLR) and figure that'll help TONS with the coldness on my hands.

    I have just a Icon Superduty jacket that's like a polyester body and leather sleeves. I wear a hoody under it and it's fine. I also usually have a neck warmer to keep my neck warm and keep cold air from going into the top of the jacket or up into my helmet. When it's really cold out, I'll wear my balaclava which covers my head and face and neck.
    As far as my legs, if it's really cold out I'll wear some flannel pajama pants under my jeans and then some windproof, waterproof pants over my jeans.
    For shoes I have my Icon Superduty boots and they do just fine.
    It's my gloves that suck for the cold, and my old ass helmet I'm wearing right now. My icon helmet's shield pivot broke, leaving me to wear an old HJC that's too loose. Right now it's either buy a new pivot kit for the scratched up Icon or get a new helmet, and I have my mind set on the RSD edition of the Bell Vortex, or maybe the Bell Star C-Note.

    I ride 6 miles to work. With winter gloves, a nice windshield, and my down insulated jacket preheated in the dryer the trip is very nice and comfy. Need to get a full face again but the ole ganster looking face mask works pretty well.

    Why would I ride my bike in the cold when I have a nice comfy heated full size truck that gets 14mpg in neutral going downhill
