I sure do.
My lights and hiviz really pop on those days.
Plus neither me nor my enemies (car drivers) are bothered by sun glare.
Do I relax?
Nope.
Not until I dismount in my driveway.

I prefer sunny days whether I am riding or doing something else. Sunny days just cheer me up.

Love overcast days when the sun isn't as intense. Usually the temperature is more reasonable as well. I actually prefer mornings over afternoons for the same reason's.

I like overcast days as it lessens the contrast between the sunny straights and the shadowy curves where deer wait as road barricades.

most of the time, it makes no difference, I have a dark smoke polarized shield on my helmet. However, in the fall, after leaves have gone, yes, I like overcast days bigtime. Sun us at low angle shadows are long on sunny days, it feels like riding inside a strobe light

For sure - nobody blinded by the sun, everyone's a bit safer :)

Since I wear all the safety gear all the time I prefer the overcast 60ish degree days to stay comfy on the bike.

After several days of around 100F we had a overcast morning. I took the GV on its maiden voyage to Lindsborg KS. Riding in the cloud cover was pleasant until the sun came out then it was like a blast furnace. I could not beleive the temperature difference and was greatful when some cloud cover returned.
The GV did great and didn't have any issues mechanical. The seat is another matter, I need to remove the Butt stop to have some more room. Felt like driving a car with the seat to far forward. Didn't have any issues with the small 12" wheels at speed. The ride was nice and soft as well. Was running about 70 mph most of the trip at 7k rpm. The digital dash only shows bars for rpm so no inbetween 6k and 7k rpm. Temperature showed 2 bars on the highway and 3 bars in town (about half way ) .
