Does that count?

Having a MotoGuzzi and pulling a trailer...in the snow, earns you your own special skills category!

Dirt bike in the snow is a whole different category of fun! The 'hard' part is blasting berms that were left from the last snow. That was the last time I was in full and free flight. It just doesn't drift 'over' blocks of ice like it does deep powder.

I tried riding my bicycle on a packed snowy road when I was 10 or so. I never felt it necessary to try it again on two wheels.

What were you thinking?

I was driving in the snow last week and I have a BMW (with AWD). It handles very well in snow. So suck it!

You don't have a REAL BMW.. You have a soccer mom wanna be BMW.. You know, the one with less performance... The one a woman can handle..

I disagree...

There are some (a lot) of weather conditions I won't ride in, and I've ridden in falling snow and sleet..

Many times the main roads will be in great shape, but our road leading to 235 is impassable on a bike.

ABS, Traction Control.. rider capabilities all go out the window when you hit that ice patch in a corner, and if there is a chance that 1% of the road may have ice on it I tend to leave the bike at home.

I have ridden to work in the morning only to end up riding home in falling snow, but at that point the roads have either been treated and the snow is melting, or the snow isn't falling fast enough to accumulate on the pavement.

If Ewan can ride his BMW in Siberia, then I'm going to disagree with you.

The bike can do it. I don't know about the rider.

Know what the difference between a BMW and a porcupine?












A porcupine has the pricks on the outside....











suck that.
