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.
