I've got these things called KneeNecks they are a simple chap style wrap with velcro closures and go on wicked easy and work awesome. I started with a quilted set for use on my quad and later bought a set of leather ones which work great on the street. They also make denim and ballistic nylon versions. I had leather patches added to my quilted ones where the exhaust made contact.
You may think they are goofy but they do the job...

Thanks, but I haven't been a 34 since I was 18. (26 years ago LOL)
I want to get leather so I can use them at the track too. The 1/4 mile track here won't let you go over 120 mph without a complete set of leathers.
Kill 2 birds with one stone.
If I can't find leather overpants, I'll just have to change at work.

I wear long johns and leathers on the cold days seems to work fine.

I commute on my Busa every day of the year in Seattle (yes, where it rains and is regularly in the 30s); only time I'm not commuting is when it's snowing or flooding - so I'm on the bike 11 months of the year.
My solutions:
1) Jeans only in the summer - and Sliders at that. They're a little thicker denim and have Kevlar protection all over.
2) Joe Rocket Ballistic pants/coat and when it gets in the 40s I wear varying thicknesses of fleece pants/coats underneath. A wind-blocker fleece pants/jacket work best. Fleece is nice because it breathes and if you sweat it still keeps you warm.
3) When it really gets cold - in the 30s - and wet I wear a one-piece First Gear suit (lots of brands out there) that has a very warm quilted insert underneath the ballistic shell. I've never had to wear more than breathable 'under armor' type tops/bottoms with my one piece suit and still feel quite comfortable. Cooler yet, many one piece suits have the room for you to wear clothes underneath without getting everything wrinkled - so get to work, unzip and you're ready to go after fixing the helmet head...
Like I said, I ride every day of the year. Have lots of other lessons learned for keeping the head warm too.

I use Hein Gericke Cargo Overpants - armor in the knee area, zippers up and down both legs - just unzip up from the boots and step out of the pants at work. They also come with a waterproof liner - hasn't been cold enough here in Ft Lauderdale to try that for added warmth yet (52 deg this morning - felt great with just the overpants/no liner)
WEAR LONG JOHNS UNDER LEATHER PANTS T-SHIRT AND SWEATSHIRT UNDER LEATHER JACKET RODE IN 30 DEGREE WEATHER NO PROBLEM
Would like to hear more about your head solutions.
I have a long Balaclava with a provision for the nose, and vent holes cut for the mouth. My Scorpion helmet has done well so far.
Haven't had any cold issues with the head, but colder weather is coming.
Would like to hear any advice you might have.
Thanks
Even though I didn't ride today, I wore a set of thermals to work that I bought last night. Just wanted to see if they were tolerable under my normal work attire while inside the office all day.
Seems like they will be fine.
Long Johns under leathers will be my choice too.
