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.

You'd hate it here. Sunny, warm, great places to ride... oh yeah, it's legal to split lanes. You get through traffic and get to use the carpool lanes. 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. :icon_winking:

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.

With 4 years to go before I retire and move, I don't know? Should maybe have bought one a couple years ago?

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.
