When I bought my Z1 900 in 1991 I resolved never to ride below 40 and only then if it would be 60 or better when I left work. That eventually became never below 60F. Guess I became wussified in my old age.

I wouldn't call it wussified because riding in those temps is just plain unsafe, on top of extremely uncomfortable. We're Americans, FFS, not sherpas in Nepal. We're supposed to have comfortable lives.
