This was the last time I started an engine in those temperatures. Thule, Greenland, 1960. No motorcycles, but that old Dodge was a lot of fun on the ice. My bike won't see anything close to freezing where I live, but I'd rather ride in 35F than 95F. I can put on more clothes, but folks get all excited and mean when I start taking them off, for some reason. As I write, it is 101F, and the bike doesn't need much time to warm up.

Amen. Cold weather riding is more manageable than ultra hot, though, you might need to deal with road salt (or not - just leave it for spring).
