I like Diego's idea. Take a longer route. The more time I can spend on the bike the better I like it. For the last four years I have been riding HDs and I ride all year round. They start easy due to the fuel injection but the Bonnie is much more fun. Just buy warmer gear, dress in layers and enjoy the long commute. I still have a lot of winter gear (nothing heated) but I manage to stay pretty warm. I found that the HD rain gloves are the warmest I've used in fact my hands sweat even in the winter.
