I must be cold blooded. This morning it was just about 50 degrees out on my way to work. It is predicted to only get up to maybe 70 by the end of the day and it is currently 66 out. I had on my helmet, leather jacket, gloves, sweater, t-shirt, long cargo style pants. I get her up to 55 a good part of the ride but I only have 7 miles to go. I was comfortable with all that on. I see guys going by on their bikes wearing nothing more than a t-shirt and shorts. Come on now! How do they stand it, it was cold out?

I hear ya.

My bodyfat index runs into the negative, move a little air across me and I'm freezing. I don't even take the liner out of my Alpinestars Drystar jacket until it hits 80*......

I'm just the opposite way... I rode without the liner in my Tourmaster Flex jacket until 0 degrees. At that point I couldn't find gloves warm enough and didn't own a scarf or I would have gone lower.

No no your not cold blooded. See when you watch people in tee shirts, shorts and sandals fly by at 100 mph they use the friction of the pavement to heat them up when they bite the dirt....
