After a rough day yesterday going down some sandy roads I shouldn't have resulting in seven sandy offs and one mud hole that didn't fair to well, treated the beast to a nice bubble bath.
What you did to your Tenere today??!!

I added that same TREX skid plate, drilled some air holes in it and added soundproof Killmat material to quiet her down

Added a Puig Air deflector, upgraded the headlights and added a Nelson Rigg tank bag to put my Camelback in. Tomorrow we ride!

21 celsius….. thats hot here. Best I got today was 9 celsius, 48F. And I’ve no heated grips till my son in law visits the US in January. Partzilla is about third the price of UK dealers, so I’ll get them to post to his hotel and he’ll bring them home with him.
Major work needed to be done this morning.
It was 31F when I got up to ride to breakfast to meet a couple of friends so finally put the jacket heater control back on the bike and plugged the pigtail back in.
And put a little air in the front tire.
Hey, It's a Super Tenere so these qualify as major work for me.
After the exertion I decided to reward myself with this fancy schmancy chocolate Boston Creme donut.

heated grips are definitely a fantastic tool to have ! I’ve done quite a bit of riding below freezing temperatures but haven’t used any heated gear since last spring on a 800 mile day ride.

50! I'd drag out the thermals!Even I don't turn on the heaters until the mid 50s.
31!! I wouldn't even leave the house in my truck in that weather.
ADV salute for the warm weather wimpies.

2weeks ago rode out to my buddies place in Hinton Alberta from BC, it's about 8hrs. On the way there the best i got was +5C or 41F, later in the ride near the end but still couple hours to go -4C or 25F.
A few days later when i had to go back the thermometer dropped to -14C or 7F that morning. Needless to say that's stupid dangerous on a bike and my buddy drove me back a couple hundred kilometers till the temps warmed up around 11am at -1c or 30f where we unloaded the bike and rode the balance.
Honestly it was too cold to be really enjoyable but an experience.
BTW, i got a lot of thumbs up from people, most ever. Either they were saying "awesome buddy" or "your an idiot"....lol

Back when I had to ride in the cold, we didn't have "proper" gear. When we got the RT with heated handgrips, we were ecstatic. Our minimum riding temp was 20F. Then we realized that at that temp, any water on the road was frozen. So, we decided for safety sake to make our minimum 32F; air temp, not windchill. So now, that I ride 'cuz I like to ride . . . . I just don't see the enjoyment of riding when it's cold. Just because you can, doesn't make it fun.
Heat is a whole 'nother issue. I don't have a max temp. And, judging by how many bikes I don't see when it's hot . . . . I'm guessing a lot of people do have have max riding temps.

I routinely ride in over 120f. It sucks. But its still better than under 40F.

Being a northerner maybe i'm more accustom to cooler temps but not on the extreme sides like i experience, that's not fun anymore.
I do have a limit to heat, i find heat hard to tolerate especially the temperatures we got this summer exceeding 40c or 104f. Any more then 35c/95f and i rather be out on the water then the bike.
My wife in all the years on her bike has had only one incident where she dumped her GS changing her life. Caused by heat exhaustion, dehydration.
She blacked out while on a ride rag dolling to the ground. I do better but neither one of us tolerate heat on the extreme end, 35c/95f is starting to push it for us, while 40c/104f forget it that's for a different breed.

I have ridden 100 miles for breakfast when it was -6 Fahrenheit, there were 2 other riders there as well
Yup, it's all what we're acclimated to. We regularly stay over 100F for weeks, if not months. Hydration is the key. Meanwhile, Cycledude . . . . riding to breakfast . . . . in -6F. Nope.
