What temperatures do you call it quits at ?
……….
I used to go out any time it was over 40F back in New England, but even with that, frozen run off in shady corners could be icy well into the day.
.
I like to remind the hazards of a pickup truck backing out of the driveway with melted snow or ice (water) leaving a patch that is prone to freeze.
Sub freezing motorcycle riding is possible…….it’s that temperature period right above and below freezing I find the most tricky. I usually skip the risk.

I once went up the highest paved road in North America, sorry it is in Colorado, Mt Evan? Just a couple of days after it had been opened for the season. I very much enjoyed the goats and sheep sightings and how they walked down the slopes like a tourist on a NY sidewalk. Anyway, after watching the sunset, on the way back down, I found the little streams of melting ice, had become ice again. I didn't drop the bike but it was a slow interesting trip back to the main roads. St.
When I first read this thread, I was thinking of comfort while riding. Out here in the San Francisco Bay Area, it just doesn't get that cold nor does it snow. However, it can get below freezing at night, and take a while to warm up in the morning. My concern is not being cold, but ice on the roads. Since my riding time is in the morning-I have other things I typically have to do in the afternoons. I'm curious at what temperature do other riders get concerned about road conditions. Thanks in advance.
FYI, I have a Roadcrafter Darien Jacket with removable liner I can wear when it gets really cold. No heated gear----------------------yet.
