I ride mine when I can. It's only about 20 miles round trip. Last year I rode every day until the coldest day of the year.. It was 18 degrees and I was not prepared (regular pants, gloves, beanie, sweatshirt and jacket!!) I was on night shift, and it was 26 degrees when I rode in to work. There was frost on my bike when I got ready to leave. I think I got close to hypothermia that morning. Thank god it was only 10 miles!

I ride a Springer Classic or 1200C 20 miles round trip to work any day I can.&nbsp\\; As others have said, if it's not raining when I leave (or heavy storms aren't a good chance in the afternoon) I'll ride to work.&nbsp\\; In the winter I'll avoid freezing rain and ice, but otherwise I throw the overpants on and ride in then as well.

114 miles round trip on a stock 07 Deuce seat (I keep telling myself "someday I will buy a better seat").&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; I ride any day its not raining in the morning (unless they call for severe thunderstorms).&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; The coldest I left the house was 30 degrees but it warms up fast in NC.
&nbsp\\;
Add on:&nbsp\\; The onlything is with riding that much is I go through tires every 2 months.&nbsp\\; Just over a year old and have 23k miles...

I ride 35 minutes one way on a two lane in NW Florida. The only time I don't ride it to work is when I know it's going to rain. (over 40%).
