You will be fine. Having a fairing helps alot. Don't forget that you lose traction when it is cold, leave extra braking time.

If you are going to be in the boonies bring a thermos with hot coffee. Nice when you are cold.

 

another thing that you might consider is an electric liner. have to carry less that way. i use one between 30 degrees and 50 degrees. sometimes don't need it but just a quick twist and you're warm. don't even have to run it all the time, just when you are chilly.

 

I'd wear a balaclava instead of baklava. Baklava may work if you are hungry though...

 

That's funny. Both are hard to pronounce, but one tastes better. You would have sticky hair though.

best investment to cold weather riding I have made, just regret waiting so long to buy them. I have the gloves as well. have ridden colder than -10* celcius (around 15*f) with no problems

 

If you have a windscreen, you are already half-way there… and with lowers… Miami Beach brother !!
However; if not (or additionally) what gets cold for me are my thumbs, toes, and upper part of my legs…and if I am getting too cold.. my fingers and face (mumble when I speak). Water resistant winter gloves with a large cuff to fit over the sleeves of your jacket, everything else has been covered that I see…. except….. fog… and both types. Riding thru and looking thru. Both are quietly dangerous… how? Experience my friend; experience. Good Luck and have fun!! P.S. Your eyes will want to get watery and your nose might run… so for winter riding I use a helmet like the Bell 500 with a windshield, allowing me to wipe my nose and clear my eyes…(I use my neck scarf for that…).. and spit or snot rockets when necessary…

 

That ain't cold!!! How about 25 degrees. A few years ago I stayed in Denver until they got the roads cleared from snow. We headed up to Independence gap with snow still on the roads, so we could go to Aspen. I'd rather ride in cold temps. Good luck & stay warm, LOL.

 

Gerbing or first gear heated liners Gerbing heated gloves I have riden down to 15deg.

 

I ride in 20* weather with my leathers & full helmet with a full shield, gloves, a leather neck protector (covers from my nose down my neck). I do have a heated vest & gloves but have found that for me (when my fingers go numb, they get cold quick) they are too tight & my fingers go numb quicker. I am Colorado Springs. If you want to borrow my vest & gloves,you can.
