I've looked for those hand guards I see on dirt bikes but they don't seem to be available for street bikes. I have 'gorilla' hands/gloves/ mitts but they make it a little awkward to control the bike and aren't easily transferred from one bike to another, Graham

I was thinking of putting duct-tape on the front of My mittens to cut down some wind

One doesn't need a lot of dexterity to activate clutch or brake levers, so mittens are ideal, because they are better at keeping one's hands warm than gloves.
It helps to have a fairing type windshield also.

I wear down mittens with fleece liners.

My hands and fingers are what stop me from winter riding. I don't or can't seem to find the right gloves. Graham

Joey,

well done. The key for winter riding is to wear the proper clothing. I have done 27-28 F, with the forecast saying "Feels like 24F". I admit it was dam cold, but you just need a good pair of winter gloves. This year I am thinking in trying the heated gear, no because I can't handle the cold, but because it is a bit bulky. Besides, it takes me the twice as much time to get on the bike.

I hope you are warm up already. Clearly you feel your fingers since you are typing. :)

Javier.

Well - I made it - About a mile into it I couldn't feel my fingers
very well - about two miles my hands got stiff. Throttle hand was
particularly bad - but it was about 5 miles into when I started
getting pain like little needles stabbing my hands - that isn't good.
Pushed through it and got over here to my Dad's place. Had some
difficulty getting it into the shed - I couldn't feel my clutch hand
very well.
          I'm gonna eat a warm lunch - including hot chocolate.
