What Michigan riders look like during winter..

What Michigan riders look like during winter..when we finally reach a balmy 40 degree day! Pic of 3 yo Grandson and I...40 degrees out...yet still no jackets. Next day it was 29 and still rode. Day later 4 inches of snow...24 degrees. So I shoveled a path from my shed to the end of the driveway and road to town 7 miles away. Roads were clear and dry so hey...why not ride?..

50?...like as in...above zero?.. Lately I can't comprehend temps above 20 degrees.... Gee millsc...tell me what it's like?...
@Hank...tx... btw...The Tank scoot in the pic...is a 100cc Urban Sporty..oddball engine.. a 150 engine with a 47mm bore...same 57mm stroke though. A 2005 with 14,000+ miles on it. Still looks new and mint huh? I am that way with my scoots...treat them like a newborn baby. If I ever find as much as a scratch on one...I freak out! That is why when customers bring over a newer 2011-2012 etc...and it looks like it was run over 20 times...I cringe and feel almost sick when I work on it. Pulling off all the duct tape and silicone bath tub sealer to remove panels to work on it..oh my...

I've been riding my bicycle to work the last week, it's been in the teens for sure. As long as I don't really stop to take a break it isn't too bad.

Actually I still haven't purchased my scooter yet. I posted a thread here a few weeks back trying to narrow down what to buy. I have my motorcycle safety class in a couple months then I'll be ready to go after that.

I'm trying to absorb as much knowledge here as I can before I finally get it.

Wish you luck and hope you find a good scoot for yourself

One hella snow storm in Michigan tonight. Super heavy snow. Cute grandson, teach him to ride young! My sons 9 and have a honda 50 dirtbike. He loved riding almost as much as me. He wants to be a pro dirtbike racer when he grows up. And I hope he does. Hope we can get the scoots out soon :( I'm having withdrawals
