RE: New Toy
a converted mole 
the key to winter riding from what i've been able to deduce thus far (riding almost every day since early october) is windproof. make sure your outermost layer is completely windproof. and if you get a rainsuit for those emergency situations it works well for that. i tried a few things for keeping my hands and neck warm and ended up with a wool scarf (sporting my family tartan) and some waterproof winder riding gauntlet gloves (basicly snowmobile gloves but styled like sportbike gloves) been completely comfortable on my 20 minute rides in to work down to 37* so far. will test at lower temps once they arrive.
