Keeping wind out is probably the most important thing. Wear warm gear and your jacket but put a waterproof jacket over the top of the whole lot. By keeping the cold air out the warm gear will work much better. When alpine climbing in crap and cold weather a windproof jacket over polypro is far better solution than polafleece or down jacket over polypro. Same concept that when on a bike.

Kathmandu thermal top tucked into my oh-so-fetching matching thermal longjohns, complete with thermal socks. Then my good old RJays, lining IN. Neck warmer tick, balaclava tick. Only bit of me that still tends to get a bit cold are my hands. Rest of me is like toast.

Or just buy some SKINZ although i definately wouldn't wear them under your leathers ..you'd probably pass out from overheating yourself ,but under codura would definately work.

Mind you they are bloody expensive if your only using it for the bike but id say their isnt much better than a full Skinz kit

You mean you wear this stuff to keep warm on the bike?????

I suffer from Raynauds Syndrome, so I wrap up in so many layers it's ridiculous! I wear a thermal long-sleeved singlet, then a long sleeved wool or angora top, a jacket, long scarf wrapped around about 4 times, then my Dririder bike gear with liners. I'm buying hand grip warmers also.

I try not to ride too much at night...

Stick a newspaper down the front of your jacket.

Possum and merino top and pants are good,forget about buying them in shops,we have the original possum factory between Stratford and Kaponga here,worth the trip open weekends.

You could always try some heated hand grips. It's surprising how much heat you lose through your extremeties. I had them on my first GS500, and they were good in the cold.

Perhaps you could look at a double bubble screen to direct the wind away from your head. (At least you've got a fairing on the Kwak).

Personally I find that if I wear a neck tube, have the lining in my jacket (Teknic), and wear a thick pair of socks it's all good. For some reason, I always FEEL warmer if I wear ear plugs.

There are heaps of winter gear that you can buy. Oxford do a range of glove inners, etc.
