Paul, I have a neck protector that I got from a store similar to Lowes or Home Depot. It fits under the helmet and covers your whole neck. The only part of your face that is exposed are your eyes. I tuck it under my shirt and then put my coat over that. I have riden in freezing weather with no air getting through it. If I remember it was only about $10. You should be able to pick one up at any Northern store that sells warm clothes. Winter gloves with cuffs that go up the arm help also, But they are harder to find.

That just isn't fair!! :) Having said that, today was the day the bike finally went into it's winter hibernation. Only about 42 degrees today but I bundled up and ran it down to the gas station (thankfully only about 2 miles from where I live) and filled the tank with Premium gas. Before filling up I dumped an entire can of SeaFoam in the tank to stabilize the gas over the winter. Then, a quick clean up, bike cover and off into the back of the garage on the center stand. You know...I have to say though that riding in low 40s weather wasn't all that bad!! If I owned a snowmobile suit with something to keep air off my neck and a good warm pair of winter gloves, I think I could be quite comfortable. The only problem is getting dressed up like that is such a pain!! How often would I realistically go out for a ride during the winter if I had to do that kind of dress-up routine every time? Knowing myself I wouldn't. Besides, we DO get snow here in Eastern Oregon, and the highway department puts down gravel for traction and that is REAL scary on a bike when you're rounding a corner. I usually don't get my bike out in the Spring until the sweeper trucks have made their way around and swept up the remaining gravel. How many of the rest of you have done your winterizing yet?
