I grew up before this silly thing "WIND CHILL FACTOR" came to be used. I knew what to expect from just relating the temperature on the thermometer with the real body sensation from being outside in the weather and this includes the relative humidity influence. I think the wind chill factor is just plain silly because it doesn't tell anything and is misleading. Something for City Slickers from New York City LOL. It wasn't something that was taken seriously by educated, self-sufficient, people.
If it takes multiple cups of coffee and a half hour for your teeth to stop chattering after a ride in cold weather you need to learn how to dress for the weather. It's called layering. You can protect yourself easily with the abundant choices available from motorcycle, snowmobile, outdoor recreational suppliers like Cabals. I've ridden in sub-zero temps and remain comfortable all day, just dress properly and you'll be safe. Unless your just making a joke about riding in winter weather this is really a non-issue in today's world. WIND CHILL, PHEWY!
