Default How cold is too cold?

It is 26 degrees in the Memphis area right now, and I have been riding around all night with the T-tops off. It's not too cold...heat is full blast and I have a jacket and hoodie on.


I say if you have T-tops, then they are removable for a reason, so leave them off!

Anyone else out there doing this?
