If he's using 10W oil he'll be all right.

To actually answer the question--when there is snow and ice on the road. I ride to work every day and it's been 20 degrees prior to windchill and motorcycle speed chill. But we are anticipating a snow storm tomorrow night soooo....no riding on Thursday, it looks like.

I stop when the temp hits 3c as at that point you can have ground frost or even ice at ground level.

There have been a few times where I've felt exactly how that guy looks! My limit is at the freezing point- there aren't enough layers without making me look like the kid from that Christmas movie (A Christmas Story?) that can keep me warm below 32. Bah- I barely go outside if it's below freezing- I'm cold-blooded, I guess.

For me, the magic number is 40 degrees...if it drops below freezing overnight, too many possibly iced-over bridges...and way too much gear needed to stay warm!
