Even though I have heated gear I won't ride if its in the 30's just because it's a pain in the *** getting all my gear on. Too bulky.

When I was younger I'd ride in the cold. Now I quit when it goes below 50.

I'm good into the low teens as long as there's no ice on the roads...but I am a husky lad!

Cold to me is not the problem, finally bought heated gear for that. Snow and ice scare the chit outta me and that's when I stop I think I could handle teens been down around 25 but then the roads turned to chit

I agree, it has to be something special for me to ride below 40 because of the bulky clothes. I really prefer 80+.

Did a 100 mile "Hair of the Hog Ride" new years morning in the mid teens. Clear and sunny, no problem. But that's about the limit, we had heated gear, there was about 20 bikes, "the frozen chosen"
