My record is 8F.  I don't have a screenshot of a temp gauge because I didn't have one on my 2006 Sprint ST at the time.  With the heated grips on my new Concours, that'll be a easy.  :)

I'll ride at any temp as long as the roads are clear.  Get some snow or moisture on the road when it's below 30F and I'll take the car.'

The problem with cold riding for me is that I do use heated gear and I'm not really that cold even riding in sub 30 degree weather.  Once I get inside and stop using the heated gear I freeze for at least an hour.  The heated gear spoils me, however I won't ride without it in the cold or even the nearly cold weather.

My Sargent World seat gets so hot, it is INCREDIBLY uncomfortable.  I had it parallel on a single controller with my heated vest.  That has just never worked right so I suffered for years.  I don't want two controllers up front, so I FINALLY installed a controller under the seat so I could cut the power going from the main controller to just the seat in half (like a bias control).  NOW it is quite nice :)

Someone stole my neck gaiter yesterday, and I couldn't find my wifes fleece one, so I just had to go with the new balaclava by itself without the extra insulation.  Then the side zipper on my winter pants broke... The wind was crazy too!  20 degrees wasn't plesent today...  :thumbdown :thumbdown :thumbdown :thumbdown :thumbdown

Lucky for me I have been working 200+ miles from home, or I'd still be pushing for a day here and there on the bike. I am getting itchy though. 5+ inches in New Haven CT. today so I am not missing the bike that much.
