Overcast is a + on a scooter

Post by fish »

Hi Viz helmets and jackets really stand out on an overcast days.....maybe my favorite kind of weather for riding.
( the morning Cincinnati radio traffic reports often refer to the "sun delays" on the interstate - wouldn't want to be in that on a scooter!)

Those are the ideal days to ride. Today it is like that here. If we finish the things we have scheduled to do today I may get a ride in. Of course, I still have to wash and wax my wife's bike. We may not get around to putting it up for sale this year, but I have to prepare it anyway. It is ready to ride right now, but it is dusty and needs to be washed and waxed to look its best.

I agree. I enjoy riding on overcast days the Best! Hi-viz and White Do pop and I sure the heck See better all around. The sun hides and my eyes open....further.
Feels good. Fall days are nearing (leaves are at my feet, already). Shorter daylight more Overcast skies. Hold the rain...please. Ride

Not for me. Give me the sun any day.

And night if possible.

I don't mind the sun so long as there's a nice breeze and I've got my tackle in the water.
