My usual bottom limit is 40.  Then I have the full-face on, winter gloves, long johns, and heavier socks.  Don't have any heated gear, so that's why I set 40 as the bottom end.

With the heated seat my bottom limit can be a lower temp than other parts.  That seat works well :2vrolijk_21: !

LOL, you're right  Don, the heated seat definitely raises the "bottom" limit.  :P  The heated hand grips help alot too.  I probably could ride in colder weather now, but just chose to keep my lower limit at 40.

Ride to your own limits and comfort level. I ride all year when their is no salt or brine on the road. Normally won't go out unless its above 40 F; however, you can start at  40 F and come home in the twenties this time of the year. Once the Snow flies we have to wait until it warms up and rains to wash the roads off. The salt and brine is tough on the bikes if you're not carefull. Heated grips is a must for cold riding!

Ice is our limits!

All bikes have the elecric hook up so cold is not a factor.
Ice is a stay home condition.

A place?  You mean Kathmandu?  Geography I can handle (even if it is itty bitty Nepal).  Weird critters that look a cross between my dog and a raccoon just freak me out though... ???

Like most year round riders in areas that have "winter" I have enough electric stuff to keep me very comfortable in about any colder temps.  Also, like others, ice and snow are no go's.  The only real lower limit I impose on myself is about 15 degrees (F) because below that if you break down out in the country, thats life threatening.  My knees won't let me walk very far, so I am dependent on the cell phone, or somebody passing by.  Not worth the risk, but otherwise I enjoy cold weather riding.

Ride Safe.

40 degrees used to be my limit also. Add in the wind chill factor and it was perfect training for the ski season.  Maybe I can lower the numbers this winter now that I have the heated grips & seat, plus the fairings (never had those before).
