Okay, looks like you're going to go through with this. I rode my Honda Superhawk 996 year-round in Colorado.

Here's some advise:
1. Favor the rear brake
2. Ease on the brakes, clutch and throttle
3. Slooowwwww.
4. Don't lean, TURN the front handlebars in a turn (because you're going slow)
5. Stay warm: Have inner gloves under your gauntlets, such as WalMart thin knit gloves
6. Overpants!
7. Jacket liner.
8. Consider velcro'ed heated grips ($70)
9. Consider heated vest. ($200?)
