The coldest I ever rode in was 32 degrees, two years ago, on our way to the American Cancer Society ride. That was cold

Smiths Station, Alabama to Fort Benning Ga. (bout 25miles) 15 degrees. I was in the Army then with my bike as my only transportation. You can't be missin formation cause its too cold. It was torture but I made it.

Mid 20's (25ish). It was mid feburary and I decided to take the bike to a mechanic for some work before spring. I didn't get much faster than 35mph and the ride was only a few miles. By that time of the year one is used to the cold and I was fully dressed for the ride. But it was cold, no doubt about it. Fun though...it was good to get it out, even for a short while.

Default Brrrr!

If the roads are clear and it's not raining or snowing I'll ride in almost any weather. When the city starts putting down salt and sand the cornering can become dangerous, so I won't ride.

29 deg. Had no choice. 750 Norton was my only ride. It was the only time I hoped it wouldn't start but it did.
