Not dressed particularly warmly - just the Joe-Rocket jacket with a T-shirt and sweater underneath, a silk scarf, without the rain barrier - and not feeling particularly cold either. The fairing really proves its worth in the cold, and a stuffed tank bag cuts the draft down to a breeze. When wet, the bike stays dry under a good rain cover in front of the house. Right now, 10 pm, there is frost on both my car and the bike cover, but tomorrow afternoon, I'll be riding again. Another good thing about cold riding. The curvy waterfront roads are almost tourist-cars free. The biggest risk is a speeding ticket.
