hey, old-n-slow, maybe as the summer gets into full swing, we'll have more stories to share.
Last fall, I was a passenger on a friend's bike when we did a day trip to the island. We started via Nanaimo, met some friends for lunch in Ladysmith, and then continued down island to come home via Victoria.
It was a nice sunny day, but by the time we got off the ferry in Tsawassen it was a chilly ride home.
Now when I go anywhere, I take extra gear. There has been a couple of occasions when the weatherman lied and I took along rain gear.....just in case....I am so glad I did. I went up the Sunshine Coast ( more like liquid sunshine coast) to visit. Coming home it was like a monsoon had hit the whole west coast.
Do you have any experience with heated gloves? Do they really work? During the winter, my fingers were the one area I couldn't seem to keep warm.

Blues-- I had heated mitts for ice fishing, heated socks for snowmobiling but never used heated gloves for riding the MC in cold weather. You have a choice of heated gloves or heated grips. I am of the opinion that the gloves might make the better choice. I might be tempted to buy some hand protectors to help keep the wind off of my hands. You could always remove them come warmer weather. I typically don't bother to license my bike over the winter however there are many out here that do and a few of the gals in our riding group seem to be the hardiest. As for myself, not so. 
I humbly accept the handle of WUSS.
