I rode yesterday in 14 degrees but didn't go far enough. It's seven Fahrenheit out right now. I guess I could go for a spit and at least get an entry on the board.

Too many people riding here every day to honestly be the "state" (επαρχία) winner, even on the coldest day of the year.

Glad you posted that here Matty.

There are riders from all over the world here. Theres that one dude in Russia with blue P series. Maybe he'll give this thing a run for its money.




We're havin a cold snap here in LA..................its 50 degrees.

Headed to the office for a bit. 37 degrees in SF!

^ clean! Drooool

Thanks! I try and take care of my scoots inside and out. Good condition scoots are getting harder and harder to find, and as corny as this sounds, I figure the better I take care of my rides now, the better the chances are someone else down the line will enjoy them as much as I have. Strangely I have somewhat of a preservation mind set in the back of mind when I find myself sinking time and money into a scoot. And I like a clean, sorted scoot...

What the fuck were we talking about? Oh yeah, it's cooooooooold!

You riding tomorrow on the Griffiths Park shindig?

Just racked up 12.5 miles at 8 degrees so I could have a guaranteed entry.


Fogging was an issue, as was engine overheating in the mid-range.

Only part of me that's cold are my feet. I should have worn wool socks.

Not quite sure yet.

im an all weather rider but wont be passing any temp gauges when work moves ... n not gonna do it in snow again im getting too old ....

this year in march i was following one of me workmates to work n a watermain had burst making the road an ice rink ..... he went over in his car n looked in his mirror expecting to see me slide .... i just held on n cried shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit ... it was on a corner luckily just after a 30mph speed camera so i let throttle off kept it straight n made it across with feet up ... pulled in n sat on the kerb laughing ... scariest ride ever

You need to enter! Need more Lambrettas this year.

Im riding about 70 miles tomorrow.

I'll take notes and send em in.
