I'm on third shift, so I take the truck if frost is predicted. It's a good cold limit for me. The windshield doesn't help with visibility, but it does help with staying warm. I can duck behind it in heavy rain, too.

I went for a "fun" ride yesterday. The temperature was somewhere in the 40's. I'd continue to do my 5 mile commute in those temps but that was my last "fun" ride of the year!

I love to ride in warm dry weather, but here in wales we only get a few warm dry days every year..I find it hard to understand how we can have so much change in such a small country, Some days it rains here and five miles away it is dry and sunny..In just one day we can have dry sunny weather followed by rain followed by sun followed by hailstones followed by snow..

If you love rain come to Wales.

John.

Dry, no snow or rain expected.....I'll ride. After a certain point what's a few degrees?

I do believe all traffic would come to a standstill at 0°K though. That would be the absolute limit for even the toughest riders.

So far about 31F, but I plant to ride all winter as long as there isn't any frozen stuff on the ground so we'll see.
