If I could talk myself into a decent sidecar, I would ride when it is icy out.
You know I like my coffee sweet in the morning
and I'm crazy about my tea at night
Might be time to get a Ural lol.
I have 2 heated vest (BMW / Gerbing) sitting here, along with other winter riding gear for those interested. ALMOST FREE AMIGO.

What do you recommend for heated gloves guys? If my fingers weren't frozen maybe my vagina wouldn't get so cold.

I sell all the major brands, and I find that the Gerbings or the Firstgear ones work the best (I'm riding Firstgear currently). The Tourmaster ones worked pretty well for me for several years, but don't keep my thumbs as warm, which is an issue on my particular bike because of the lack of wind protection and the angle of the bars. Whatever you choose, I recommend leather for wind protection and abrasion resistance, passengers can get away with textile, since they are usually out of the wind.

I had heated grips on my previous bike, haven't bothered to put them on my current one. I will say that the combination of heated gloves and heated grips was pretty awesome when the temps dipped under about 20 degrees!
I think the key to cold weather riding is wind protection. The Effective Wind Chill at 15 degrees and 70 mph is a number I don't care to contemplate, but is perfectly liveable with the right gear.
