I must admit I find it strangely satisfying riding in the crap weather. When it gets really cold I chuck on a thermal vest, thermal sock and inner gloves and I find that to be warm enough. It also has the advantage that I arrive at work wide awake and grinning from ear to ear! The only problem I find with my current job is that I can have to travel around our works (steel works!), which is a pain in furnace gear so I have been thinking about getting a VFR with a full set of panniers.
