				I did a 20 mile circuit today. Visited friends. Let a Harley owner drive my PCX.  He had a smile when he returned. 
My scooter is black so there is never a need to wash and dry.  Fish, you should have thought of that before buying that flashy red model.  The black ones are self-cleaning.

				Those poor trees with out any leaves. I already miss the green. Fish, How far did you ride and how do you keep your hands warm?

Nope....if any color but the Ducati red would have purchased a bus pass!#:-)
Always wanted a red scooter or motorcycle.
44 miles. $.74 Wal-Mart hand warmers in palm of my silk liners.....and the odd stop to hug the.muffler!!

				We just bought hand warmers to fit into out mittens. That's if the weather improves.

I had the Oxford Scooter Heated Grips installed on my Forza 
http://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/oxfo ... ated-grips. Including the grips and labor, it came to about $200.
I rode it yesterday in 40C degree (raining) weather for about 5 miles (without heated gloves, I might add). It worked well in the highest temp. setting.
Next up, planning to have them installed on my PCX125.

				@Mortimer - Heated grips do sound tempting. Just don't what to go though the install for them. Could be an option down the road sometime.
