Just watch, Eddie will log on at least 50 times and click on his number. That will skew the results way out of whack.

I don't think Sarasota Florida hit 30° this "winter".  We used to snowmobile in upper Wisconsin before 12v warmers, in -36° and that was not wind chill factor.   Once a belt broke in the middle of lake  Namakagon, there is an extra belt on the inside of the cowl. That was one fast change!!!!

I chose one of the options that might be my favorite but whatever the temperature is , we ride .

I only chose my favorite, but my real favorite is not raining and hopefully warm.   
this is fun, thanks for doing this!      
John I'm sure right Eddie will over click on his.

I like 100° only if the humidity is over 90% too. 

Buncha wussies!!

Really? I swear, that boy just ain't right....no way, no how!

My favorite temp is the one that lets me wear full gear (without layers) comfortably, without overheating.

Mid to high 60s is perfect.  Spring and fall are the best seasons (where I live).

Nailed it on that, same here. Wear gear all the time, just hate sweating while riding.

  75/80 works for me, but I have comfortably ridden in a lot cooler temps up in NY, just became a Wuss living down here. 

[_Sheffjs_]

I went with 60-65 and I was plesently surprised that there are so many others in the same range and one 55-60 as that fits me also.    Also that SPECIAL category guy who calls us all wussy's, it would be fun to take him on a snowmobiling trip.   

[Tropic traveler]

Snow is a four letter word. 

[Tourus]

    70 to 75 works for me, don't care for 50 or below. If the humidity could be in the 40% range I would be ok with upper 80's but this is Florida so enjoy the fact that we ride year round

Just ride um and clean um
Ride safe, stay dry

My favorite temp range is 70 - 75, as I can ride comfortably with my half-helmet and t-shirt. I am OK with riding as low as 35 with the proper gear: face mask, chaps, gloves, leather jacket. I never ride with shorts or open-toed footwear. For me, Boots of some kind (and helmet) are pretty much mandatory, but I occasionally take a very short ride bareheaded and/or low shoes.  JMNSHO

Happy Easter to all my Valk Brothers! A wet Easter Sunday up here in the Pan-handle. I chose the 60-65 but get out at 50 many times knowing that it will warm up to 60+.... I like wearing my full gear too. I hope to see many of you in Morgantown, WV in June. 

[flsix]

65º to 70º puts a smile on my face every time. Not really fond of swimming in my own sweat but that time of year is rapidly sneaking up on us.

[sixlow]

I like a cold crisp morning to need leathers then after lunch a somewhat spirited ride in short sleeves with some fellow Valk curious people and followed up by the return to chilly on the evening ride home.  Florida winters are great. Wish I had more time to do just that more often. 

[larue]

65-70 for me is ideal, higher is tolerable with low humidity

[Valkahuna]

Anything from 10*F on up as long there is no snow. 90+ sucks since when stopped you drown in your own sweat.

[CrankinRankin]

 SHORTS 50 to 90 My wife likes 80 rain traffic fast or slow works for me but slow gets OLD pun         intended

[Robert]

70-75 , 12 (29.3%)   

[Bert AKA,Valkaholic]

I Chose 65-70 Degrees, But For Those That Live Here Year Round Know That The Temperature May Very 40 Degrees +/-,In An 8 Hour Period. It Will Be Way Too Hot To ride Before We Know It,( Except For Eddie ) ! 

[Moofner]

I chose the 70-75 range since it didn't take humidity into account. In Florida, 70-75 with 90% humidity still gets you swamp nuts syndrome.

It was interesting to see the votes. Was not expecting so many votes in the cooler ranges where I am happy. BTW took the 1500 Out today forgot sun screen and my arms are red and bugs!  No LBs, mostly dragonflies and miscellaneous critters.  Soak the new Clearview!!

And for you Eddie, you are in a class all by yourself.  But we knew that.

I can see a 1500 or a Triumph Rocket III in my future. I asked the wife if she wanted to ever ride her own bike again, and she told me that she would prefer a side car so we can all ride as a family.

With a declaration like that, who cares about the weather?!

For this side of the pond the question should have been "What temperature rain do you like riding in?"

No doubt most will toss our leg over every chance we can however some will have a preferred temp liked best to ride.  

I guess I should have put the 30° - 90° category on as suggested.   For sure Stake Bed would be one on it. I say Hey Stake Bed with a southern drawl

If my son was on here, he would probably say as long as no black ice, he would ride.  He was in northern Michigan for 3 years, and rode a bike every day to work. Bigger khonies than I have.

Been to England twice and the first trip 10 days 0 rain.

Second trip 22 days only rained one day and that was at Lands End and that was sprinkle.  Guess we got lucky?   Saw the Red Arrows in Salcombe
