I rode in to work tonight like any other night and a guy said "woah don't you know it's going to be like 58 deg. tonight?? You're crazy! I just said wait until you see me pull in here when it's 30 to 35 deg. and then tell me what you really think. I don't ever put my bike up for the winter and I ride year round unless it's below 30 deg. Thats just too cold for me. I know this has been gone over before but lets hear it anyway.:draggin

45 degrees is the lowest I have ridden in and it was nothing a little thermal underware and my gear couldn't handle. I think the only thing that got cold was my neck and my ankles.

Yeah the neck can take a beating in cold weather but I have that licked with a leather "neck rap" with gore-tex inside. Keeps me neck nice and toasty. :thumb

Man karl I bet you got some war stories on cold weather rides.:laughing

I'll usually stop when the air temp gets down to around 34. Too much chance of icy road surfaces in the shade.

Last year I put the bike away around Thanksgiving, and then we had two weeks of decent (well, at that time of year its relative) weather. I think I'll wait till the first snowfall before I winterize it this year.

I rode when it was like 30 but I had a nolans quiet rider, and a joe rocket 3.0 meteor jacket and i didn't get cold except for my ankles, oh and it was at night.

 

[JDogg]

28 deg was the coldest that I rode - without electrics, and when I went past the car wash, it was less than fun. Too much ice on the road.

I try not tp get out if it is in the 40's

 

[Crusher]

As long as there is no snow or ice on the ground......I'm ridin'

When my nose starts to run like a tap under my helmet!

Free from a Harley guy I know but I'm sure if you bought one it would run 25 to 30 bucks.

the worst was on an unfaired yamaha RD350.
it was about -5C(23F). it was a snowstorm. snowed about 5cms in about an hour. it was fun,
This winter my goal is to take it ot at least once every month.:thumb

40's is about as cold as I ever wanna ride......

 

[StrickSVS]

This will be my first winter in a warmer climate. In MD i would ride as long as it was above freezing. I don't like the idea of black ice when on 2 wheels. I would ride in 35 degree temps in jeans, long underwear, sweatshirt and JR atomic jacket. My hands got the worst of it because I only ever wear my JR speedmaster gloves, and they are not good when it is cold.

 

[ZRunner]

Last year I rode all year...
I went to work at noon and it was 28 degrees
I left for home at 9:30 pm but didn't catch the temp...

All I can say is the chill didn't go away until August...

I should have stayed in California

Thats me, when my nose starts running, its time to park it, there is nothing more annoying then haveing a runny nose you cant get to. Even during allergy season, i just cant take it.

This will be my first winter in a warmer climate. .

The winters in Georgia aren't much warmer than the ones in Maryland. We rarely get any snow though and the winter may be slightly shorter...

Vanson makes a great neck warmer as well. Never have a problem with that.

 

[Stinky]

Damn, winter's coming around. It's gonna be getting to the low 60's again. I hate riding in cold weather...:redflip
