Iin South West of Victoria Australia. Is stinking hot again today, aroun 37 d celcius, but blowing a gale so definately not good scoter weather. On a side note, I won an Ixus winter jacket on Ebay last week for $5.50, and its amazig how good this is when riding to work at 5am. Really cuts out the cold. Combined with the new helmet its a lot warmer now, but it has also highlighted how cold my legs are now, as thats the only thing I have nothing for. Searching ebay as we speak for some decent waterproof pants for winter....

Could always sit on the floor board to keep warm.

Aggghhhhh, it' snowing again.  What happened to that global warming stuff? 

OBARK, I knew they ware crazy in NYC, but tell us about riding in the snow.  You do anything to the tires?  I think my X500 would be too much in the snow.  I will venture out when it's cold, but turn chicken when the white stuff starts hitting the ground. It hurts to fall and plastic is too expensive.

I've had my zx50 for about a month.  It's modified out and does about 45 regularly.  I also drive it in the cold.  A week or two ago I was on it in 18 degree weather, windchill about 5.  I wear my suit, suit jacket, Trench Coat, full shield helmut and cheap walmart embark gloves (10$ US).  Ofcourse it's alot better to do now that I learned I can actually close the vents in my helmut.  LOL Today its 35 degree, and still piles of snow on the side of the roads.  It's 8 am and I will be riding in about 30 minutes.   ;D
