My cut off is 45 degrees.. whats yours.

Don't vote based on the coldest you've ever ridden. But rather the min temp you normally ride.

0-30 F gets my vote.  Actually mid teens is about as cold as I've gone out riding.  30-40 F can be quite nice if your dressed for it.

Depends i guess....
I rode to work the other day 34 degrees and sunny and was fine..
on the way home however it was 29 degrees and nighttime.. and THAT was too cold.

Below 40 if it is dry.
If wet more like 70.

I don't rightly remember what temp it has been on some of my rides, but I know I've ridden in 40, and I don't know what temp it was 2 weeks ago when I went up to the snow.

Last winter I one evening I had the choice of driving the Bimmer home from work or riding the bike.  It was 3 under.  I rode.

I voted 30-40 'cause any colder than that and I'll avoid riding...  But it won't stop me.  I've ridden in 28° weather...

45 for me too

As long as there isn't ice out there....so I guess anything above 33...

For *comfort* however, I prefer over 40.

It's all got to do with wind chill (and lack of road ice).  Coldest I've ridden to work (under 45 MPH all the way) is 24°F -- coldest I'd ride at rural speeds (55+ MPH) is 45°F.  First things to go are my hands, and enjoyment plummets when that happens.  Suspect I'd need electric mitts or those covers over the handle bar grips/controls to avert the chill.

Redshift...dirtbike style hand guards are pimp when it comes to that.  Once my digits are cold I'm usually out of the game.

Didn't someone have hand guards on their GS?

scratch puts handguards on his GS in the winter!

I've ridden at 32, but it's no longer fun below 40.   If I can get some wind-proof riding pants, I should be good down to 20.  By the time I get to work, my legs are going numb, but everything else feels just fine.  Fingers get chilly, but not too bad.

Leather works wonders for blocking th wind.

It's an awfully bad insulator, though. So better have one to two warm underlayers

Anything above 40 is a big plus.
I ride into the twenties, as long as there isn't snow on the way.

For me the limiting factor is visor-fogging.  As the temperature gets down to about 30 degrees Fahrenheit, I can't open the visor because the cold wind gives me an ice-cream headache, but I can't close the visor because it will fog.   

So at 30 degrees I'll ride to work (5 miles), but I won't go a real ride (30 miles+) until it gets closer to 45 or 50 degrees.

Ditto

FogCity ProShield inserts work GREAT!  I have never had a condensation or fogging vision impairment since.

So did Roadstergal.  She used Suzuki DL650 V-strom handguards with little modofication.  Mine are the Acerbis MX handguards that I see are no longer on Acerbis' website, but that doesn't mean you can't get any from the vendors.  I'm seriously considering buying a pair of the DL650 handguards.
