I tend to agree, there aint nothing better than plastic to protect you from the cold. BUT... I have seen some _real_ men lately. That is 25 deg mornings and chaps on HoV on crusers with faily small windshield... well, ok thats not too bad, but the guy on the Suk SV1000 ( no "S" !!! ) kills me. There is no fairing! Just stock bike, and what looks to be a bigass ski jacket. _real_ man, or maybe stupid, but I've seen him do it many times... Ouch...
