Because it's fun! Before I had the Dellortos rebuilt, it always ran better when it was cold and running the heater meant that the cockpit, while still itsy-bitsy, was toasty. Plus, it's always fun seeing the reaction of other people to such a small car when it's out of context (winter). The only thing that really keeps me off the roads is road salt.
So, Why NOT?
I get an extra 3 - 4 months of driving when it's cold!
OK, I guess that's just a good example of "different strokes for different folks." However, if I was caught driving my speedie this morning around town, the reaction would be to pull me over, strap me into a white coat and take me straight to the Napa State Hospital (formerly called an Asylum). You see, it's almost 8AM, the sun's been up for 30 minutes and it's still only 27 friggin' degrees!
