Call me soft, but I won't ride under 60. I prefer the Phoenix heat.

Coldest so far has been 9 deg F. Ride year round with a snowmobile suit and Cabella's mittens. Gonna get some heated gear one of these days. Been thinking bout them HeatDemon heated grips too. Snow or ice on the road, I take the truck.

With the right gear, cold's not an issue. All you have to worry about is ice.

Default Hands

Seeems like everyone that had a cold spot, was hands and the heated grips and heat demons are another subject, but I ride to work in the teens on a regular basis if the roads are good and oner simple thing that people don't think about is the little air activated hand warmers. These things are a life saver!! Inside glove on back of hand works awesome and they are cheap. My 02

Yep. I don't care as much about cold (although I tend to stop around the mid-20's) as I do about road conditions and salt.

We had a 5 degree morning this year, I didn't ride. I guess that's my limit.
