Rode today but thank God I still had my gear from when I was in Germany. I did find out today my heated grips are not working though. Heated seat was awesome.

Funny, I'm actually the one that likes my house to feel like a meat locker. When I'm comfortable my wife is curled up in a snuggie under a blanket, but 20 degrees at 70 mph with inadequate gear just plain sucks. If that makes me a wimp, then a wimp be I.

I hear you. I just got my bike too, South Florida here and it's painful to ride. I sigh every time I drive my car out of my garage past my new friend.
