Nice. I got my S3 back in October, put 1500 from Oct-Nov. Now I've done another 1300 from Dec-Feb. No heated gear, just bundle up and wear my balaclava. I've gotten down to 24F. The worst is when its cold AND dry, but the bike handles incredibly well in this crap weather we've had in Ohio the past months.

I've found that if I wear at least 1 layer of thinsulate long johns under my leathers I'm good to go unless its below 35ish and dry out. The balaclava saves my face and neck as well. Humidity does wonders for the 'real feel' temperature while riding. Clothing with armor does a great job deflecting wind and keeping joints warm. Since I got my 'new sport' jeans from Triumph and my Icon Hooligan gloves I'm pretty well set for just about any crap weather that has been thrown my way. I even stay pretty warm in the rain.
