Winterizing

One thing I'm learning for SURE is how to trial and error when it comes to scootering. What works REALLY well for one rider may not be a great fit for another one. That's the case with winterizing, or for layman's terms, getting ready to RIDE in the December-March time frame.

One important piece of clothing that all riders will agree on is the gloves. It's difficult to keep control of the machine if your hands are too cold to keep holding, twisting, and braking. I experienced that on Friday night when the temp got down to 29 degrees and I wanted to take a short ride around the neighborhood and see the lights. A 5 minute ride and my fingers were frozen. So, I got new gloves today and hope they do the trick.

Not much to report, but wanted to keep the blog active.
