Where I live if anybody looks out the window and sees a light dusting happening the instant reaction is..... " On my Gawd ! Is that snow ? We're all gonna die ! " ......

I was half-expecting a rider on a GSXR1000 with studded ice tyres to go whizzing past you.

Yeah, where's the motorcycle?

Today you would need the studded tires -
Under the snow is 1/2" of ice -
The road surface was warmer yesterday and the first inch of snow melted on contact -
Then it got cold and more snow - ICE packed hard HARD ! on the roadway.
Mostly I am just grousing about the fact that I should still be riding (in a typical year at 49* avg) :jaded::cold:

So Carl, when did you put such a fancy fairing on your Goldwing? I never knew they made ones that stuck out that far and were that wide

Carl,
Yah, here we go again, a bit early this year.

Is a little bit of a different experience when start with it parked outside, and have to figure out how to brush off the snow enough to open the door to be able to get out the brush. THEn brush it off (as much as decide to brush off), and then drive off, maybe with still snow on hood, and maybe windshield not entirely clear, and snow on roof blowing back over the rear window.

They went all preemptive today in NY - no snow, but the streets are covered in salt.

This whole year has been crappy, half of our season at the dragstrip was rained out.
