Default Coldest cruising weather?

What's the coldest you have ever dropped the top? I've done it a couple nights here in the past month and including tonight.

I dont usually drop mine when its colder than 50, its too hard to get the top stretched back and latched. Canvas is hard to stretch when its cold!

I was tempted to drop mine yesterday too especially after seeing SO MANY MOTORCYCLES cruising all over the place! Extra frustrating for mebecause I stored my bike awayover a month ago lol. But, I avoided dropping the top for fear of doing that in such cold weather,, I DON'T wanna risk damaging it & have to replace it any sooner than I have to.

Hey at least our rear passenger windows go DOWN too, and that's something else the Coupe guys can't do SUCKS TO BE A COUPE!

Puts hair on your chest, and when you ski in that kinda weather all the time you have the right clothing. I only go like 10 miles or so. Just enough to make all the locals say WTF.
