Some of them (like you) find it impossible to ride in deep winter because of the conditions. One of the members lives in Edmonton, Alberta - he really gets skunked in the winter!
I'm a product of the rounders' brand outreach program
Though I tend to be on the wimpy side of dead center in terms of forays in to the bitterly cold. Between the bikini fairing, perforated leathers and a the absence of a lot of um... natural insulation -- I chill pretty quickly
