What's the lowest temp?  My minimum is 40 degrees.  I have good gear though.  It's a brisk refreshing ride at those temps.  I like it.  What say you?  How low do you go?

Ride safe.

It all depends upon chance of rain and distance I have to go
I no longer like to ride in the rain so if there is a chance of that it reduces the potential distance, and if it is cold that too reduces the distance
I do not have electronically enhanced heat

This past winter the lowest the bank clock said was 25oF, no heated gear.

When I lived in Sheboygan Wisconsin back in the late 80's & early 90's, I had a niehbor that rode an older BMW with a sidecar all year long.
I myself haven't ridden a motorcycle in cold weather, but I have peddled a mountian bike in 20 deg. cold, snow, & ice, not by choice, but by nessessity.
