I'll be looking for you Superbiker.
You'll be the one with the snowblade on your scoot and icicles in your eyebrows, right?

I actually like to ride when it is in the 30's and there is no snow or ice on the roads. Below that, not so much anymore. Unless I'm on my dirt bike. It's never too cold to ride it! I hope I never get old enough (56 now), or wise enough, to quit acting like an excited kid on Christmas morning when it comes to riding motorcycles.

Guys it's all good we all do what we do for our own reasons everybodies mindset and situation is different and as some of you will figure out it changes over time and your individual circumstances . Bust yourself up a bit from wrecks or a long rough lifestyle and see how a 30 degree ride changes your perspective about things . Age will do that to you besides some of us have ridden deep into the 6 figure land of miles already , that heater and a traffic report isn't a bad thing on occasion .

Wallet biker, funny name.
Here's one.... Eskimo poser.
Guys that ride when it's between 0 and 10 celsius for fun have some serious issues with self abuse. I can see it if you need it for getting to work if you have no other wheels or you're out touring a thousand miles from home and have to keep going no matter what kind of weather you have to face, ok I,ve done that a few times.
But to roll out of the garage to go for a fun ride when it's that cold...you need help, a team of specialists. Don't tell me how tough you are cause you can ride when it's cold, you ain't tough...you're stupid.
