If I get too cold riding I will find warmer clothes. I will ride through the winter as long as there is no snow/ice and it's not raining.

Here in Connecticut and the rest of New (chitty) England It's starting to get cold out..It actually SUCKED this last week end ,the weather never went over 50 degrees with some serious winds..Bike sat in the garage..last rode on last Friday..Getting ichy, but don't like the 32 degrees it's been out every morning scince last Saturday.Only getting up to maybe 50 during the day, Now with time running out, the clocks are gonna get turned back an hour at the end of the month,but still don't want to "Put It Away" yet..Still hoping there's some nice days comming in what is suppose to be Fall..Seems every year it goes from one extreme to another here..2 weeks ago it was in the upper 80's now lower 30's no more fall.........Need to go South.................

32F on the way home from work this morning!! It's a tad bit cold, but only because I am still piecing together the right gear to use to keep warm!!

The neoprene face mask so far has done a good job with my skid lid!!(don't care much for full face helmet). Little cold around the eye/nose/mouth openings, but is tolerable! Jacket is holding up good!!

Problem is my hands...the gloves are not thick enough!! What do you guys use??...a heavy duty thick glove, or the heated ones??

+1 I disbelieve that there is a such thing as too cold, now I also might worry if I see a rider with skis strapped to his back
