        Snow, no, freezing cold, yes.

        Rode to the stealership last year, in 21 Degree weather. That was the coldest I had ever ben in my life!

            I one picked up a bike I had paid for when it was a mixture of snow/sleet/ice, drove it 5 miles home at 20mph, people were hating me

            I have been caught by rain, hail, a massive cold front that dropped the temp by 20 degrees with high winds, but never caught by the snow.
            I don't know how fast my bike goes, I've never stopped to find out.

              First time I went to meet Babs it started snowing about halfway to her house . Her first "real" street ride was in the snow ! It was really not much more than flurries , but still , it's the principle of the issue !

                      I've been out riding in -10C / 14 F before. It wasn't snowing outside, but there was black ice on the roads. Really hard tires at that temperature, and any twist of the throttle and the back tire spins. Couldn't get the tires warmed up at all Actually I was moving, so I drove to the new place rather than putting it in a truck, about 5 miles or so.

                      Now the dirt bike is fun in the snow and ice, but studs i have not tried yet...

                            I have been caught in flurries on the kat.

                            I have ridden the old EX500 in the snow. (that was dumb) I don't think you want to be in the snow with anything more than about 250#'s, b/c you will need to put a foot down.

                            I commute 41 miles each way to work, and I agree about 35F or 40F is cold enough. (mine is all highway, I am not sure what the windchill at 80mph is when it is 35*)

                            I have been in hail also, <whack whack smackity whack whack> shield fogs instantly, so you open it so you can see and a hail ball hits you in the nose.... not fun, hiding at the gas station is the best option.
