Gotta go with Joe concerning the hand thing. Since I don't have a cage, I ride my Savage all winter long. Winters here in the Springs aren't anything like they were where I grew up (St. Paul, MN), but things can get brisk here nonetheless.
I pop these beauties on in the Fall when the temps start getting into the 40's:
Those things are Hippo Hands rip-offs I scored at a garage sale a few years back for two bucks. They work great.
For boots, when it gets into the 20's, I break out my 35 year-old Sorel snowmobile boots, the ones with the felt liners.....accept no substitutes.
A long scarf wrapped a few times around my neck and I'm good to go into the single digits, as long as the streets are clear. Strictly for urban riding, though. If you were to hit the highway in those temps, you'd need electricity, like I use on my big road-burners.
