Default Cold weather riders?

I was just wondering if I was the only goob who rides when it's freezing or below. They think I'm the villiage idiot at work. Anyone else ride in subzero weather? Somebody chime in so I don't feel ridiculous.

I dunno about sub-zero, but I ride when it's cold as long as I don't think there is ice out there. People at my work think I'm nuts too.

Sub-zero in Huntsville? Didn't know it got that cold over there -- anyway, ya I ride in the cold and ya my coworkers think I'm strange. But it's really no big -- wear enough clothes to keep me warm and I'm a happy camper If there's a chance of ice I don't ride but other than that winter riding is great.

Well maybe not subzero, but cold none the less. High teens low 20's. I actually live in East Limestone (10 min. from huntsville), I've only been here about 4 yrs., I don't know many people from Huntsville city.

Was just messing with ya [8D] Each season has its benefits and drawbacks. Summer is time for traction and knee draggin twisties but it's HOTTTT -- winter is crisp and you'll notice the free horsepower on a really cold day but occasionally a piece of strategically placed insulation pops loose and a body part freezes.

I ride when I can, so if it's cold and the sun is out, I'll be riding!

I rode in to work and it was just cold. Tonight when I leave it will be cold and probably raining. COLD AND WET, just my luck, huh?
