I knew someone in College that did this some. SUNY Fredonia with all kinds of lake effect snow too. His motorcycle was the only transportation he had so....

I've ridden over fifty miles in that much snow, without the outrigger. However, I whimpered like a little girl for a lot of the trip. GD

There's another guy who rides around Anchorage all Winter on a Harley trike.
No helmet, just a fur hat with fox tail blowing in the wind.
Crazy bastards.

Back in the 1970's they called themselves "the Brothers" if I recall correctly. I did hear where they became a branch of the Hell's Angels in the 1980's or 90's.

For liberals and anarchists, power and control is opium, selling envy is the fastest and easiest way to get it. TRR. Communists just don't jump out of helicopters.

Wonder what the wind chill feels like.


I could wish a lot of things on my worst enemy but neuropathy ain't one of them.

I haven't been on a motorcycle too much but rode a bicycle all seasons for 15 years or more. Rode to work one morning in fresh snow before the crews were out of bed. A few hours later a caseworker asked me if those bike tracks in the snow were mine, " Yup! ". They were out picking up employees who don't know how to drive in snow in the state of Misery. Took me almost a full hour in that snow to.get three miles. RZ.

I’ve ridden in snow, Central Texas snow at least. 27F seems to be the magic number, below that stuff freezes. Once I was riding in to College Ststion from 10 miles out of town when both ends of the bike began to shift around. Pulled in the clutch, didn’t touch the brakes at all and let it roll to a stop by the side of the road. Soon as I put my foot down, WHAM!, went over, black ice 🙂

‘Nother time I rode at Christmas time from San Antonio to El Paso (560 miles, to visit a woman), cold drizzle, 40F, on a 750 Ninja. Stopped at Sheffield to get gas and nothing worked: Couldn’t feel my face, talk, couldn’t undo my helmet, couldn’t get anything out of my pockets grin Later on I got snowed in in Capitan, I had to get over the Indian Divide, like that guy but no training wheel, once I lost altitude going downslope to Carrizozo, no snow, dry roads clear back to El Paso.

Good times 🙂

Is that something Yankees do to ride in the snow? I've never seen such a thing.
