What kind of weather can you ride a mooter scooter in?
David M asked:
I live in a town where it doesn't rain very much and it snows about a couple of inches every year. I'm thinking about getting a motor scooter because it would save me a lot of money. I'm looking at getting a Honda Ruckus. My question is how bad does the weather have to get before I can't ride it anymore? I don't mind the elements too much, just I don't want to ride when I am in serious danger.

It all depends on if you want to get wet while riding. You can ride in any weather, but if it is raining, you will ge wet. Also, scooters are pretty hard to ride on ice so that wouldnt be a good idea. Get a closed face helmet and a good jacket and you should be allright in almost any weather

My dad likes to tell this funny story about the 1950′s. He had a friend with a Vespa scooter. They’re just like scooters today, with a full faired windshield. He got on the back, holding an umbrella, while his friend was driving. He just put the front edge of the umbrella behind the top of the windshield, and they were dry!
You don’t want to do that, of course. You’ll need to put on a rain suit. You can go anywhere you want in the rain wearing a rain suit.
You have to be careful, though, about the road being slick when it rains. Paint used on the road (the reflective kind) is especially slick in the rain, and you’ll have to be careful.

Its been said, what can you take? I live in Phoenix, I’ve ridden in rain storms bad enough that some puddles were axle deep (and I don’t own a rain suit), and temperatures up near 120? not always fun, but it can be done.
