The weather man says its going to be in the 20 the next few days with snow on the way. I need to decide if I ride all winter or store the new scoot.
-
Time to ride.
-
Ride and get some heated gear! I live in Denver an it got down to 22 F on my commute home. Took the surface street and enjoyed the ride until the last fifteen minutes. Good luck.
-
that's why I love Florida!
-
Something about the first snow of the year I love and look forward to, same with the first crisp ride of the season.

I went for an 80 mile breakfast ride yesterday on my Xciting 500 and it was over 70 degrees and absolutely beautiful.
Today, it's 24 degrees out:(

Rode home in Denver late afternoon at 19F. Cold hands, but the real problem..... Scooter barely started. Temperature dropped from 62F at 10am to 19F by 4pm. Scooter has a fresh oil change of Castrol Actevo 10W40 part synthetic.
Any suggestions? Can I go 5W30 and should I go straight synthetic?
FYI, a 2009 Agility 125 with a new (since May) battery. Couldn't kick start it, only electric starter. Once started, it really didn't want to run at any throttle setting for a few minutes.

Scoot did good in the snow.gota love those a.b.s brakes.

Im pleasure cruising right now, so mine went easily down the basement stairs on a wide ramp. Storing the scooter now at room temp as the furnace is in the basement and all the HW pipes keeping things warm.
-
After my ride in the snow I got lazy and got the leaf blower out to blow the snow off works great.

I think it just needed to warm up. Carburated bikes do that.

I live in Syracuse, NY, and we got our first snow here yesterday and last night. Only a dusting, but it's time to put my scoot away for the winter. I'm 70 and on blood thinners, and can't tolerate the cold like you younger folks. I'll change the oil, stabilize the gas, plug in the Battery Tender, and cover her up till next April. All you hardy folks, be careful in the snow and ice. Watch out for other drivers, especially the ones inexperienced or nervous about the conditions. Drive safely and defensively and hopefully I'll be joining you on the road again next spring.

I had the pleasure of getting off work at seven am on November first to find my scoot covered in almost five inches of snow with it still coming down. Besides getting it started, my only real complaint was the snow melting then trying to freeze on my helmet shield! Everyone at work thinks I'm crazy.

It's Friday and I got to ride my Burgman home after three days of snow and ice covered roads. I was happy. The traffic brought my mileage down to 43 MPG. Oh well next snow storm tomorrow. 2 inches. Denver

Aside from the hot, dry, summers, we can ride here all year long in Las Vegas. The best months tend to be from October to April when the weather is nice. For some reason, when it gets cooler here, I hear complain how cold it is. I remind them that since they are in their cars they do not know what cold and hot weather really is. I have rode my Kymco Agility 125 in December to work when the over night low as 26 degrees and it feels like 6 degrees on the bike. I have also rode when the temperature was 115 degrees out on my way to my class at six in the evening the summer time. At that time, my bike was my only means of transport until I got a car last year. I enjoy riding no matter what the weather is like. The weekend forecast here in Vegas calls for day time highs in the low to mid sixties which is normal for us for mid November. If we want to see snow, we head up to Mount Charleston which is 45 minutes from Las Vegas.

We just got about 8 inches of snow in the last two days here in the Boise area. The scoots are now in the nice, warm garage with StaBil and a battery tender to keep them company. At least until we get the snow off the roads. Supposed to get down to a high temp of 12 F by Monday. Back to driving the cage for a while, dang it!

I know how you feel! We're getting the same weather here in Denver. Good luck!

Maybe the bike needs a tune up. I started my two bikes after 3 and 7 days sitting outside in the cold last night. They both started on the first shot. One bike is carburated the other fuel injection. Turn the key on open and close the throttle then hit the starter button. Give it a few minutes to warm up and go. Good luck.

3 to 4 inches of snow this morning, the first of the season.
I've taken a million pictures of the country with coat of snow but I still take pictures--it is so beautiful.
Riding is finished for now but once in a while we'll have a 70 degree day in Jan or Feb (Weird??) and the bikes are everywhere!

We had it around 28 here in NJ with a wind that would make a witches tit feel at home. I was ready to make the move to Fl. yet again.
