I of course always try to be neither, but I am going to go with cold - I just get aggravated when I'm hot and my sweat is sweating and you can feel it running down the back of your neck. EUGHHH!

What about you guys/gals?

Yea me too ... love winter, I under dress slightly (Jacket and pants but all vents open and no inner ... ) and love it ... Ironically the humidity here in summer helps more than hurts ... I sweat a bit and then as the wind runs over ya its like A/C ... Just dont smell me when I get off the thing ...
Cool.

I would rather be hot. I have almost crashed from being too cold and not able to react quick enough.

there's nothin like good case of swamp ass to really make your day.

Hot it's easier to go faster than try to warm up.

I prefer to be warm. The cold hampers my reactions and tightens up the muscles unneccessarily.

being too cold makes it hard to concentrate clearly. It's like it just saps all of my mental ability. OTOH, being too hot makes me frustrated and angry and can turn me into a squid.

pick your poison...

rr = what exactly is a "squid" in the biking sense? lol

In the animal kingdom, a squid propels itself by filling its body with water and this squirting it out really hard.  This causes them to move really fast in a straight line.  But they don't turn so fast.  

I hate swamp ass.  Make me cold every time.

Hot makes me angry, cold tends to wake me up. I'll take cold, as long as my hands get to be warm

Squid - Acronym, SQUirrely kID. 1. In reference to younger MC riders with little respect to posted speed limit laws, self safety or safety of others. 2. Inexperienced newcomer, someone trying to ride beyond his skill level with arms flailing (like a squid) to try not to fall. This may be just a Southern term. 3. Stupidly Quick, Underdressed, Imminantly Dead. 4 Any SportBike Rider - seems this term got twisted along the way and has many meanings. 5 Sportbike riders who wear tennis shoes or flip flops, shorts, tshirts, etc. on their nice shiny new sport bikes. 6 Anyone that rides without all proper gear , rides recklessly, or rides beyond their limits.

lmao.. I know what a squid is, but never realized where the derogatory term came from... and no bike for me yet, but I always prefer being cold to hot.. can always put more clothes on, can't take em off past a certain point.... Maduro Mistress, I checked out your site and was pleased to see that my first thought upon reading "Maduro" was correct, you are a cigar aficionado, excellent, I know who I'm going to for suggestions, and finally, Jake D has one of the best songs ever in his sig...

that is all...

Thanks for the definition guys! I'd heard the term before but didn't realize what it pertained to!

Niceguy - yep, that's me. Aficionado-ess a girly connoiseur Anything anyone ever needs to know about cigars lemme know! (Oh and if you need any I have about 700 in my humidor right now!)

If is is too cold I don't ride, cause of losing body parts to frostbite.  If it is too hot I don't ride with proper gear, so if I go down I lose body parts.  
I lose body parts either way.  Although here in GA it never really gets TOO cold, so I'll go with cold to hot, and as stated before I can always put on more clothes.

Cigar smoking, motorcycle riding chicks are HOT! :kiss:  

Speaking of squid, I saw a great one yesterday when I was working on my bike. I heard a bike coming up the road, so I looked and it was a guy on a Gixxer 600 with a helmet, shorts, and hoop shoes. No gloves, no shirt, no jacket...sweet.

Well I thought I had seen squids out here in Cali, but we are actually pussies compared to Indiana. My mouth dropped at the sight of the first biker without a helmet. Oh and then another and another. I saw a few wearing helmets and you know they get shaZam! for it. I would just get laughed at.

Then I saw this skinny older lady on a Harley. She comes flying past on the highway, left hand on her leg, tight short shorts, a wife beater type of girls shirt, no gloves, sandals, and no helmet. She was driving pretty aggressive too. I was like, I'm the biggest kitty cat on the planet.   Her balls are bigger than mine. Oh wait, she did have on a pair of sunglasses.    

After being there for a week, I realize there are much more serious cases of squids than in California.

Oh yeah I also so somebody just wearing scrubs. Of course no helmet.

My personal favorites are the dudes with their Shoei helmets strapped to the back of the bike while they ride around. Seriously - why would you spend upwards of $500 for something that's going to collect dust?

Image. Look, I'm so rich I can afford a $500 helmet that I don't even wear!

Cold.

It makes you feel alive. Plus I hate sweating.

(Though I hate the nose drible from the cold air.)
