What is the coldest temperature you typically ride motorcycle or bicycle in? Not the coldest ever, but the cold temp that you say "meh, it's not really that cold..."
For me that's 45°F/7°C that my modest cold weather gear is good for. I've ridden handful of times at 32°F/0°C, but after 45mins I end up with a brain-freeze headache that is miserable.
It's a beautiful sunny, but frigid day today that has me yearning for a ride.

@bayport_moto I have a 35 min commute and I'll ride as long as it is not icy or snowy.
I put on heated gloves at around 4 C. I add an extra long sleeve shirt at around 0 C and a padded buff at around -4 C.
The 3 layer/4 season suit is surprisingly comfy at lower temps. It's mostly my toes and finger tips being a bit cold when arriving.
It's been 0 to -2 C and dry for the most part for a couple of weeks and the coldest I will still ride is around -8 C.
Cold is better than wet!
