The value of the ride has to be more than the hassle of getting dressed for it.
I've ridden with snow on the road, so cold the heat from a car a 100 feet in front of me was appreciated. I've got some pretty good clothes gathered up, and I expect to ride on some pretty Ugglee days. What bugs me is how little They look for us on pretty days.
YaKnow They aren't looking for yon days only a madman would be on a bike.

I think I have that same vest or very similar.

The sizing for shoes is interesting too.  A US-9 is a 43 in China.

High rpm has that piston chuffing up and down, the oil mist gets blown out the black hose at the top right of the jug. It goes through a compressed chunk of what looks like it would make a pot scrubber. If that tube doesn't leave goin uphill, it's going to be blowing oil.
Using Dino it held its oil pretty well for a while after a change. Once it got up around 1500 miles on the oil,it started going through it pretty quickly. I didn't change oil on a Miles schedule. When the oil started needing topped off too often, it was time.
This is Truly a
YMMV
moment.

I hear ya!  Salt is awful.  I was born in MN, and dad kept us moving south with each job change.  Finally hunkered down in TX.  When my dad passed away, we found out he had bought like 5 acres of land in Mexico.  He wasn't done moving further south.

40 degrees is about it for me. Below that it just isn't much fun. I still see a few bikes out on the road around here when the temperature is down into the 30s.

What ends the season here in Western NY is the first snowfall when the salt trucks come out. I don't know what it's like in other places but around here it's almost like a competition between the town highway departments to see how many inches of rock salt they can pile up on top of 1/4'' of snow. Shocked They even pre-treat roads if there is snow in the forecast even if the roads are bare. It's insane IMO  Once that sh*t hits the roads the motorcycles get put up until we get two or three days of steady rain around the middle of April to wash it off.

I even hate driving my car on the roads around here during the winter, and I don't even like my car. Angry

Hey MM!  Cool

You are definitely a Diehard!!  I need to get some heated gloves.  I think I could bundle up to handle 45 degrees for a little while with heated gloves.

Here's a little video from 12/23/22.  It was in the 40s on this day.  Underneath the Santa suit are several layers including a heated vest.  Hands got too cold!

My daughter added the Texas ZZ Top music and published it on TicTok.  (she didn't get rich)

Rode around and put a smile on a bunch of kids faces (and a few adults too)!  Fun short ride.

Good morning Paul  Smiley

I'm getting ready for a ride now to the next town South of me for a CMAUSA meeting.

Dressed for it includes :

Long sleeve "T-Shirt"
Long Johns
Tall Socks
Heavy button-up shirt
Ski pants
Heated Vest
Coat with the liner in it
Barclay tucked into the neck of the coat and pulled up to my nose
Full Face Helmet
Heated Gloves.

When it gets up to 45 degrees I'll have to turn the heated gear to "OFF" !  Grin
It was 16 degrees F this morning and it's taking a while to warm up out side.

Those folks ridding Snowmobiles are the "Tuff" ones !   Wink
