Mitas mc32 win scoot tires Using the scooter A size in a diffrent/cheaper brand(this brand is $100 for 150, mine were $150 for 250 and the tool) I'll be throwing another snow riding video up once I'm done editing. My ride in today was even more snowy than the above video, 10" worth of snow!

I rode in the snow today, but it was a dusting. The bike ran like crap due to being so cold out. Probably need to upjet from 90 to 95. The temp must have dropped when I left to head back home and I was totally underdressed for the ride. It sucked.

Does your helmet fog up? I have that problem when I'm not moving. It gets worse the colder it is.

I'm using rainx antifog. Works decently. Also heard you can put dawn(dish soap) on, let it dry, then buff it.

It's 15 degrees here atm (-10 celcius). And thats kinda cold for this region. I waiting on a pair of hand muffs, I already have some leg warmers ready. I have a warm ski jacket and trousers which work fine for riding.
Id probably still take the car to work though eventhough it's not raining or anything....just because of the cold. Maybe im just spoiled with owning a car.

Too darn cold to ride at 13°F here. My scoot is down anyway waiting for an 'upgrade'. The addition of a Vito adjustable jet really helps in cold weather. www.vitosperformance.com/atv_parts/product.php?productid=440&cat=362&page=1It makes it real simple to adjust for changing temps. They seem to jump around from one week to the next. The jet is really easy to install. You will need a 1/4-28 tap and appropriate drill bit if you install it in the carb itself. It can also be installed in the plastic air cleaner tube near the carb.

You need to change your avatar. At 12 degrees something changes from an outie to an inee.

I have one mounted in my carb intake. I would not keep recommending it if I didn't have one. The airflow past the end of the tube siphons fuel through the externally adjustable needle valve just like the main jet in the venturi. It does not just spray fuel. Fuel flow is metered by air velocity and the needle valve. It is very good for weather changes.
I have no idea how it would work for nitrous.

I have no idea how it would work for nitrous. My guess is...a tremendous boost in HP for a very short time and then a very loud bang and a lot of hot oil and debris spraying out of the engine. Just a guess of course, ha ha. Bill
