Hopefully Ill get my bike back soon and I want to ride it really bad. According to the forecast, were supposed to have almost 60 degrees at the end of the week. Ive got most of the gear covered. My major question is: what can i use to cover my neck from the to pof my coat to the bottom of my helmet that wont blow off at freeway speeds. Thanks

Heh, can't talk now that I'm in Phoenix, but last winter in Colorado, my cutoff was 0F ( -15C ). Below that I wouldn't ride because it wasn't fun for me anymore. Any higher than that and I was golden!

I use a Shellaclava, it's really great and I love it.

Thanks for the link, one of those skull masks will look great with my punisher themed sidecar project.
Oh- an a bandana works pretty well. I pick one up for $1 at any gas station when I'm out and it gets too nippy. I never remember to pack my balaclava

Haha, no I meant that's warm. 60 degrees for riding is great around this time of year. If you ride in 14 degrees, you must be a tough SOB.

I've ridden year round here in NE OH since I started riding. But I'm just sitting here today watchig it snow and dreaming of 60F.
I've ridden with temps in the upper teens but upper 20s is coldest I've ridden this year so far. Gotta be honest though, at 75 yo the upper 20s is starting to feel like the upper teens used to feel. Could be I'll have to keep it above freezing next year.
I'll take a 60F day for a long ride over a 90F day anytime.
