^doubt its an age thing...
I have found my mindset is completely different once I adopted the motorcycle as a transportation/commuter tool vs. a recreational toy.
The only difference in my kit for 10 degrees F vs. 90 degrees F is an electric jacket inner layer under my Aerostich Darien Jacket outer layer, and I use insulated moto gloves as opposed to the plain leather I use in the warmer weather. The bike has heated grips. Because I practice ATGATT, 30 degrees is actually much better than 90, but you need the right gear and heated grips are crucial.
