RE: Do you cover your face with something while riding?
this is what I wear, not for everybody I realize , but I've always been told I was a little "different" It is warm as all get out though !!
oh , and I got it from J&P . It's made in USA by wicked wear. neoprene, polartec and fleece. it also come in all black or a crapload of designs
oh , and it also tucks down in your jacket just like KiethB's does in his post you will see below this one , only mine is styling

here is what i use when it's really cold. I asked the guy for a neck warmer and he showed me this hood., tucks inside your jacket so keeps the air out

Harley in Portland sells a leather covered fleece lined mask that has a velcro back that attaches behind your neck. Pull it up over your nose when its cold and lower it when its warmer. I looks good and is easy to use. Just looks like a black bandanna.
I also have hoods that are lightweight but warm to use if it gets colder. I toss them into the saddlebags, so far I have never had to use them. In the winter I will switch to my full face helmet if I expect to get into a lot of rain and serious colder weather.

I do wear a black fleece half mask that I got at Harley. Air holes for the mouth and a little thingie for my nose. I like it. Keeps me on the bike a little longer in the cold weather.

Get a lightweight balaclava hood, feels like velvet, works great with a half helmet. Most HD dealers carry them in the glove section.

When it gets below 60 I wear a half-face-mask with a 3/4 helmet w/face shield.
The face mask makes a huge difference.

Yep. Full helmet and a cross strap on my leather jacket collar (pulls the collars up and around my neck). Simple enough an warm as toast. Any good leather shop can build the strap which snaps to the collars.
A side benefit of the full helmet. The bike sounds BETTER when wearing it. Of course I will ONLY wear it if the temp gets below 50.
