    I am so jealous of those who are still ridding. The Michigan climate would not normally stop me but my bike refuses to start when it gets below 50 or around there during the night.

    I have know idea why it wont start. Maybe i should post in one of the fix-it sections huh? lol.

    I live in Louisiana, we have some cold weather, but there's usually breaks in it every now and again. I'm hoping there are some this year as I just got the bike and it won't be 'til about mid November before I can get all my gear and get it registered and ready to ride!

    My bike is in stand by until the temperature drops to the 40's after that is going to hibernate for the whole winter.

    Mine is waiting for that one last hurrah. I've got high hopes that the weather will cooperate for us weinies that want the weather to be on the warmer side. Then it's probably nite-nite so it can get a new paint job.

    never, but day time temps don't drop below 30f ( most of the time).

    i'll do night drives back from work as low as 17f , but my hands hate me for the rest of the night lol.

    My cutoff is 37-39 absolute minimum. If it's below that, there's way too much of a chance of passing through an area where it's below 32 or has been and ice and street motorcycles just don't mix. As long as the sun is out and it's 37 or above, I'll roll.

    Lol i ride whenever i can! It was a sunny 60 here during the day, but windy. Pleasant ride overall! I probably wont put her away till it gets close to freezing. I'd had my share of slip and falls in the rain, not trying to do it on ice lol. Need a better jacket!!
