+1 for you on that ride, 10 here with snow do not think the Ultra would like that. You have to love it...

13 degrees here this morning. I still rode in. It's supposed to be 10 in the morning and as long as there's no ice, I'm riding. I just put an extra sweatshirt on, I don't have the heated gear yet. I love riding when it't cold.

4 degrees with snow covered roads in Rochester, NY. Wondering if Harley Davidson's going to start designing snowmobiles again ?.

I have come down to where I will personally ride... that is ABOVE freezing. With the gerbings I can really ride in the teens with no problem. The problem for me is the road surfaces. Don't like ice.

35 degrees today on my ride in. Pretty cold for me but I have an 8 mile commute on mostly 35 mph back roads. By the way I think heated gear and grips are for sissys! With that said I better change my name to Sally because cold is cold and I nedd to get me some heated chit!

i will agree, with the gerbings gear, don't quite know where the bottom limit would be. but the limiting factor is definitely the road conditions. you might plug it in and be toasty, but that won't stop the back end from coming around...lol

I commend anyone that can ride in the teens. My cutoff is 40 to leave and in the mountains it's probable dn to 25. I usually wait til I have cabin fever. Oh it's suppose to be 41 today and have both criteria so I guess I better get bundled up!

SCRC (Cape Fear Chapter) annual "Frostbite" ride in the morning. Calling for 35 degrees in North Carolina. I think we should call it "Global Cooling". Coldest it's been in years.
