winds of 45+mph
cold (below 30 degrees)
Heavy rain when I leave home if going somewhere other than just for a fun ride

I've got alot of limits. First, heat. I dont ride above about 85. Fuck it, I'll take my Jeep and crank the AC. Riding isn't fun in heat. Cold. Cold sucks. Though, I'm riding in colder weather this year than I ever have. So, once the highs come down to the mid 40's I'll put it away. Used to be I'd only ride in sun between 60 and 85*.

Rain, I won't go out specifically in rain, unless I have to. And I have. Whatever. Not that big of a deal.

Night doesn't bother me.

Ice, snow and cold rain.

If I had a tard, it would only be cold rain.

Night, precipitation, temps(cold), and booze.

Snow/Ice

If it's already raining and I'm at home I'll cage it. I'll ride in the rain if I'm already out and it starts.

Fog...got caught in it in the mountains with close to zero..ok about 20 feet of visibility and that was no fun but I managed.

Hot...above 95...I'll cage it because I do wear full gear.

Cold...below 50...I'll still ride but it's just not as fun. Below 40...I'll just cage it.

I've ridden when it was in the 30's but like I said...just not as fun.

Night time doesn't really bother me except in the back country due to an over abundance of deer in my area.

I don't really do group riding much anymore...prefer just two or three or at the most four or five and that being people that I know and trust their habits/abilities.

Usually it's just two or three of us.

Thats another thing, no deer around where I live but depending on where I am going that would be a factor.

Cold weather (never seen Ice or snow, but those are a definite no).

Dark - I love night riding, but my night vision has gotten so bad its not worth the danger.

Thats about it. If its a slight rain, no biggie, if its heavy and I have the right gear, theres no stopping me. If I dont have rain gear I might pull over or push through, depends on how froggy Im feeling.

I use to think that too....it's amazing what just WET GRASS will do to your perspective of how bulletproof a motard actually is

Ice or snow will keep me off the bike no matter what.

Other than that, it's dependent on what I'm doing.

Commuting - I'll cage it if it is raining when I leave or I know for a fact it's going to be raining on my way home.

Going on a trip - Rain doesn't bother me at all, so it's just ice and snow that would keep me home.

Heat/cold doesn't really bother me all that much. We get 105F here in the summer and I still ride and I've seen 15F in the winter here and still rode.

Anything below 60F unless I'm commuting to work.
