I still think anyone stuck in the snow should have a snow mobile - just sayin...
You can have it cheap. You can have it fast. You can have high quality. PICK ANY 2....

Can't image why I moved here 30 years ago and never looked back. I had 1 winter with my bike in the cold and frosty North East. I rode it every chance I got. I remember one day it was my GF's birthday and I had promised her a ride on the bike - January 23, 1995 - go look it up - (-20 degrees that day) We bundled up and drove around the city for a half hour then had to take a 2 hour shower.. I was warm in the first couple minutes... if you get my drift. I remember riding with snowbanks on the side of the road but the road was clear. Yeah - it was a cold memory. Keep warm - check out the ride videos - you ever make it out this way, I'll show you around. Thanks for the invite. We also have a lot of really good twisty roads to ride here in central Mo. Too bad we can't ride them all year. This year has been extremely cold and snowy. I ride quite a bit in the winter. 30* and dry, I'm on the bike.
I spent most of my money on women, whiskey,and motorcycles. The rest, I just wasted.

I still have my gauntlet gloves I used to use on the really cold days - a little too warm out here to need them, But, I do still use them at night it gets chilly.
