myself and my bike are made of sugar and disolve if wet.

Different gear
Avoid heavy rain
Take cage if raining
Put reg on hold and don't ride at all
Winter is for pussies

Warmer gloves. That's about it really, except for thermals if I'm in jeans.

much the same as usual, apart from thermals and for long distance wet trips bread bags and large rubber bands.

Liners into jacket and pants, winter gloves. Not much else needed, really, just a spare pair of gloves on longer trips.

I wear thermals, and glove liners, though with the new heated handgrips, I doubt I will need them? I also have a fleecy neck thing that sits under your jacket collar, against the skin and stops the drafts. I tried a balaclava but found it too weird and uncomfortable.
Whip it, whip it good!

2-piece is much easier to live with. Just as waterproof.

I just add a layer of thermals under everything, and balaclava inside the helmet.

also, how do you stop rain from sticking to visor in big drops which severely impair vision? At low speed in town riding that is.

Liners back in to pants and jacket, winter gloves, neck gaiter and install heated grips... having said that apparantly we are in for a not-so-cold winter if NIWA etc are to be believed.

Use lots of catcrap antifog and keep the visor shut... but yes, this is a problem.

Agreed. I rode in 3 degrees in the South Island in March and slipped one of those on. Warm as toast but yea a bit difficult to get off when wet.

Same as summer except I exchange my cold-suit under layer for thermals and wear a thermal face/neck mask. On long journeys I'll take my wet weather overpants and jacket for keeping the rain out and the sharp chill off (especially late at night). I use the same glove that I do in summer (Alpinestar GP pro) as I don't seem to notice the cold in my hand. With my nervous system injury for me it's all about maintaining the same temp, whether cold or hot. Temp fluctuations are what fuck me.

Just a change of gloves for me... you have such beautiful winter riding weather in this part of the country... the rain just changes angle...
I didn't think!!! I experimented!!!
Double shot!!
In town I just open it. The problem is between 70 and 90k, where the risk of eye damage is too great to ignore, and the wind speed is not high enough to clear the visor.
