Geez man. Cold is cold is cold.

In fact, in the right hands, a sandy corner can be fun.

"yer not riding if yer not sliding"

My work truck at 715 this morning showed a temp of 21 below zero F

but it was a dry cold

I rode dirt bikes awhile, it definitely helps. I'm very familiar with the concept of controlling lost traction... But still, it's completely different to lose traction on the street.

That's REALLY cold. It's 20F above zero here today. Icy as hell.

Still haven't put that Dunlop on yet?
Looks like snow white will need all the traction she can get.

People laugh when they see that we are having problems with what they perceive as a little snow. What you are looking at in Dave's picture is actually just plane ICE. It is still coming down. The sun umbrella on my back porch finally couldn't take it a little while ago and bent the frame that supports it. I lifted the umbrella while my wife put some supports between it and the iron porch railing, but the umbrella now weighs a good 80 pounds on the canopy, all ice! My driveway slopes down, sort of like Dave's but a little steeper. Forget going up it if you go down. Our whole street is a 1 inch thick ice bed. People up North get snow. We get this CR#p!

Traded scoot in for this. Makes perfect sense right?

Brother in Law just bought this today (he's in Florida). Gas powered not electric. Claims it goes faster. Yamaha.
Arg! "It's Five O'clock Somewhere" written across the front!
Whatever floats your boat! Hmm...buying that next (most likely)

Title says it! Most of the day, Rain. Roofs are busting now from the heavy weight of snow. Gutters are breaking and falling off. Flooding has started. N O W, I heard a cold front is coming Friday bringing us.....wait for it.......
THUNDERSTORMS ?!!? What??? Just Crazy!

We're finally cleared up here, but there's gravel and salt EVERYWHERE! My poor scooter is so dirty...

Ah the thunderstorms coming through north louisiana in a few hours. The gusts are strong

Today we took the scooters out of the basement and went for a ride! Spring is around the corner. It must have been 70 degrees outside today!

It was raining here about 4 hours ago, but I just got in from clearing about 5 inches of snow from the sidewalk and driveway. The fun part is that there is 6 or 7 more inches of snow coming and then it is going to get cold again. Thank you polar vortex.

We've had TWO dry days this week . . . one of them being today . . .

My PCX outside the Bank last week . . .




My YBR outside a (closed) bar* earlier today . . .






* France is closed on Sundays.

Well, we went for another ride today. It was 70 out again. Spring is trying to get here. I think I read that there is a cold front coming again, but Spring is really trying to get here...honest!

I would go for another ride but I'm at 2500 miles so gonna do service first . Besides I need to hunt down a tire pump. They were about 10 psi low

logepoge, may I recommend the little 12V airpump from wallyworld (unless you meant to keep at home). It was about $25 when I bought it last year. Comes in it's own tiny carry case, has a gauge built in.
It even fits in my glove box with plenty room to spare. I got it and a tire patch kit for emergency use. Have only used it to help an older couple with a flat on their airstream, so I know it works. Just a little slow.

Out on the PCX today.

The weather is due to be wet again tomorrow.

Lovely today tho'.

Thanks Fizzy, good shot.

Space under the seat and a topbox as well but the helmet still goes on the ground?
