I work nights and have a 35 mile ride home on the freeway between 1am and 2am and it is starting to get cold. Low 50's and will be in the 40's soon. Not sure I dig chaps, so does anyone have a suggestion as an alternative to keep the legs warm? If not, I guess I will be buyin me some azzless chaps 
.
Thanks
. Thanks
I got the gear from Shangorider.com
I have a friend that wears the lines over nomal clothing, not layered, with a HD rainsuit over the jacket and pant liners with the classic gloves and rides all winter long regaurdless of the temperature and claims that he has never been cold.

Find some overpants in your material of preference (leather, nylon, etc). This will keep you warm and give you full coverage.

+1 on the long johns, jeans and chaps. The azzlss chaps thing has gotten way out there, I wish someone would have told me for the last thirty five years I was dressing gay.
To think I also wasted all those years riding Harleys before Harleys were cool, man I must be really screwing up.
Next thing you know, leather jackets will be out and we'll all have to have textile wear, body armor, whatever ..... What happened to the good old days when you wore what you owned and could afford and no one gave a rat's azz? For you relatively new to the biker world guys, believe it or not, there was a time when you were accepted just because you rode a motorcycle, not because you lived up to some majority's standards ..............

chaps under the artic carharts, snowmobile gloves, leather jacket & vest with a set of rain gear over everything, face mask, good to zero in Ohio.
Oh, hey, chaps don't make you look gay. You look gay cause you got that tiny pecker of yours between your thumb and forefinger when your on that bad *** harley of yours, now that makes you look gay, or says all those chicks you think you know so well!

They make leather pants that fit over jeans. My friend sold them. I'm big on leather personally. It works for cows...

Chaps work fine for me, but I will add the long johns when it gets cold.
I'm not rich enough to be a poser.

If it is getting below 30 and I'm riding for more than 20-30 mins I often just wear jeans and polypropylene long underwear. Great for cold weather but at the same time, they breath well and wick away any sweat so they are comfortable for warmer temperatures. (i.e. I don't have to take 'em off when I get to where I'm going)
