Yep, all that.  The BTUs available are only limited by your checkbook kilowatts  [evil]

I rode with Gerbings Jacket liner and gloves up top today, wool/polyproplene longjohns under my jeans.

Toasty!  :)

Also had my leather overpants (not chaps, which are the ghey) with liner. I think I'll try wool sox next time.

Pretty chilly out there today. 30 degrees at my place when I left. 40 is normally as low as I go but I thought I'd put all my best gear on see how well it worked.

No heated stuff but my balaclava, Joe Rocket Meteor jacket, and the AnitFreeze inner-gloves (under my waterproof winter gloves) keep me comfy.  [thumbsup]

Check you tire pressure with the colder weather.  you may be down a few lbs of pressure just due to a dip in ambient temp

Just the normal hi performance street tires that are also good for track use. I try to get them warmed up before any kind of aggressive turning.  It was wheelying good this morning instead of spinning the tire, so my traction was pretty decent. My carbs love this cold weather!!

Bryant makes a good point about checking pressure. It definitely drops in the cold.  pv=nRt
