I've ridden in as low as 12 F and as high as 100. Don't like either. I am most comfortable between about 45 and 85. Anything above or below that I just don't enjoy like I used to. Seems the older I get the more weather affects me. I can still function in any temperature, I'm just miserable if its too hot or cold.

Hot air, hot day, and can't get out of the congestion of hot cars because everyone and their mother is doing 45MPH in a 65MPH, pacing the other 2 cars clogging the middle and far right lanes? No thanks. Optimal for me is middle 60's to the upper 70's. 80's and above depends on the humidity, 95 and up? Yeah I don't wanna go outside let alone sit on top of the nice hot Harley engine.
Lowest I took my bike out though was around 9 degrees. Fixing a part on my old car and they gave me the wrong piece, couldn't start the car to go get it so jumped on the bike. Time I got back home I couldn't work on the car because I couldn't feel my fingertips anyway and that was with 3 layers of gloves on
