RE: I love to ride in the cold.
full face helmet? windsheild? if not those face masks do work good. had one when i was in maine workin outside for hours, wind chill 40 below. also got one of those fleece windstoper face masks from a ski shop somewhere. maybee ll bean? anywho, they are both great, and i also enjoy the open face in the winter wind. if its gonna rain, i put on the full face cause i have to duck down behind the speedo/tach for any kinda windsheild. good luck on your quest to defeat old man winter and his shenanigans that keep ya from ridin.[sm=gears.gif]

I will ride until it gets into the 20 degree range as long as there is sunshine and winds are not too high.
I use a neck gator that you can pull up over your mouth and nose and often an HD stocking cap thing-a-ma-bob for my head and ears since I wear a half helmet.

rode almost all year round on my sport bike. used my snowmobile helmet with heated anti fog shield. got cought in the snow a couple times. when its your only vehicle you make due. they plow pretty good up in milwaukee. plus its fun to get looks when its zero out and you are riding a motorcycle.

You're right! Riding in the summer is fun, don't get me wrong. But getting 'leathered up' and going for a toot is really a kick. Bought electric jacket liners last year and that is really the ticket! Wife puts on her leathers, electric jacket, bella clava, electric socks and gloves and off we go. Funny, breakfast tastes a lot better when you ride 50 miles to eat it.
Oh, we are in So. Cal, so cold isn't really cold.

Only the snow and salt will keep me off the road... unfortunately, they'll be here much sooner than later![:'(]

Another vote for the neoprene face masks. I got mine from the HD dealer, for $30, windproof and warm, its just the ticket to keep me in my shorty helmet for a little longer.
