not much more than this cold...

it was interesting but i couldn't have survived it it wasn't for the van in my convoy. i had to take breaks inside the van to heat my body and hands, then ride again.

I don't get it... but I wasn't born here either, so I dunno.

lol sounds like Grand Rapids, Michigan during the first snow of the season

haha great pictures. just curious, what winter gloves/jackets/pants do you guys wear in the snow or 20-30F weather to keep yourself warm? I need some winter gloves to ride in NJ/NY area but I am hesitant to buy any that just say 'winter gloves' because i don't know if they're made for winter in California or in NY

earlier this winter i tried wearing snowboarding gloves and my fingers STILL froze after a couple miles.

Anyone have brand/glove recommendations?

I used to wear a 1 piece snowmobile suit. Between that and the windshield, it was bearable.

40* is the coldest i have ridden in. with better gear i would ride colder but to me the bike is a pleasure thing and if its too cold to be pleasurable then i wont take the bike.

I have heated gear and I've ridden for 2 hours in 10 F degree weather, but even with the gear it wasn't pleasant
