I think Rick was yankin' ter chain. If the streets are dry, go for it. Let the bike warm up a little longer and dress in layers. Really nothing worse, for me anyway, than to get extremely cold. It takes the fun out of it.
Most important, do you feel comfortable riding to work? If it's just the cold that concerns you dress warm and go for it but it sounds like there may be some underlying factors involved. If not, leave early, don't rush and have fun.

There is a ton of knowledge on this forum and a great group of people who ride motorcycles. (Harleys')
Thanks alot

uh, "A lot of men?"
Don't care how cold it is. I'd rather freeze my "boys" off than wear pantyhose.

I don't think I am going to have a heat problem from the engine. If I do, you know the rear cylinder stops firing when you come to a stop.

She ain't kidding. Football players wear them to help keep warm without adding bulk.
As for your ride, I don't know where you live, but be careful. This time of year, drivers don't expect to see a bike, so give them plenty of room. If there is even a residue of salt on the roads, WASH THE BIKE THROUGLY as soon as you get home. Salt left on= rust and pitting. Also remember, when you are cold, your reactions are slower..be aware.
Personally, for me, I would ride...but I have been doing that in the cold for a very long time.
