Red sky in the morning...

Red sky in the morning, sailors take warning. is an old saying about the weather. Tell you suit up because a storm is comming. Well I woke up to one today. At least it didn't happen when I was half way to the train station without my rain gear. So I guess today is a 4 wheel day instead of a 2. I really ought to sign up for the gym in my building. It would make rainy days less of a problem. Can win them all.

Windscreen day 1

I am back on 2 wheels today after a soggy week pushing me to 4. Things are a little different thanks to the guys at Amazon.com. I cashed in some of the gift cards I had and used it to get a windscreen for the scoot.

Since no one makes a specific unit for it I ended up having to combine a couple of pieces together to make it all work. Turned out pretty well the only issue was fitting it to such a small set of handlebars. Instead of the simple flat bars used on most scooters this one has swept back motorcycle style ones.

The ride is different with it on. It takes a lot of the wind off your chest but because of my height I am looking over it instead of through. The wind pulses a little now so I will have to play with the angle to eliminate that.

Day 1 complete. Time to do a little tweaking.
