I ride most of the year, only in the snow and Ice I do not venture out, last New Years Day my wife and I did a 200 mile tour just to get out and ride. She started to get cold by about lunch time but then i gave her all my warm kit and she was fine. I have a VFR800 with heated grips and the engine gives off too much heat so keeps the legs warm, it is only the tips of my toes that feel. it.
