Lazs don't you read to well? I allready told you in another post I lived in US for four months when I was 19 working with underprivelidged kids on a summer camp project. I subsequently travelled a bit there too, mainly eastern side, New England. I then went to Canada to visit relatives.
Then in 98 I took my ex on a tour of the mid west South Dakota, The badlands, Wyoming, Kansas etc. stopped off at the Sturgis Rally. Funny how all these badass dudes trailer their bikes there and then toddle up and down posing whilst they have all those fantastic twisty roads in the black hills to explore. So I have been there. liked it too. Saw some pretty crappy weather and met some great people. So you are wrong me old matey.
By the way are you realy such a Misoganist ( think thats how you spell it ) That you think female equals negative?
As for bikes, modern gear is lightweight well made and warm. So good and comfortable I wear it off the bike too. Maybe my tolernce to cold is greater than yours. But to pop to the shop I shrug on a Jacket pull on my lid and go. Takes me about the same time as getting the car out , and then trying to find somewhere to park the other end. On the bike I just pull up jump off buy my bits and go quick smart. The Only time I use the car is when my dog travels too, I have realy big loads to carry or the weather is realy unridable. Rare in our gulf stream warmed country.
