Riding my scooter.
Bought my first scooter in April of 2013 - and have ridden in every month since then.

Waiting for the temps to rise above 0c, then it’ll be time for some short rides just to feed the scooterin’ addiction!

Working on my second Honda Melody project (whooop) and recomissioning the C70 after it caught fire last summer.

Renovating the house as well. That's a never-ending thing, it's a dump.

Neil your a hardier soul then I. My magic number is 60F (15.56C) .  The ROMEO riders choose 50F (10C) for scheduling a ride. I will bundle up and go if the ride is within a hour or so from home.

Sounds like some heated grips or heated gloves are in order.  When your hands or feet get cold it goes down hill from there.
