Oxford hot grips, waterproof jacket, what more can you want. Oh yes, the bloke who has those HTFU pills, send me a few.

if you can't handle the weather then maybe motorcycles aint for you...... or, to utilise a common chefs saying. If you can't handle the heat, stay out of the kitchen.
Riding a motorcycle exposes you to numerous hazards, weather being one of the major ones.... you can either embrace it ! or...... drive

Welcome to Motorcycling, now repeat these words..... poly prop is my friend...Nothing is ever truly waterproof... Wear proper warm gloves and HTFU before we demand your man card be handed over.

Seriously though you've met a big learning curve. Search the threads on how to treat your bike in the wind and travel prepared, warm doesn't have to be expensive. One of those cheap ass protector safety shop ugly wharfie rain coats worn over your gear is about the best thing I've ever had for keeping the rain out and wtf were you doing riding without gloves in the first place?
