Have you guys ever ridden in the snow? Seriously! I did it a few years ago (like, 10) andthe looks I got from the cagers was worth every frostbitten finger! Man, what a crazy (but fun) idiot I was.... No; the speedometer never got above 45-50. Kinda like dirt-biking, really. Temps were above freezing (but one of those weird weather days.)

hahaha, one of my trips were over the grapevine in CA. They closed the pass because of the storm. Fortuneately, I already had rode through it and was not stuck! Had to stop at a 7-11 for extra gloves. That was a cold trip.

This year, the snow was only on the sides of the road for my break in on the Sidi boots. Not near as bad jeff.

But why is it, those are some of the most fond memories we have of biking??? I wouldn't trade those "I can't believe I did that" moments for anything. That's what makes biking GREAT!

I hope Deej doesn't read this, but if I end up getting stationed anywhere where it snows a lot, I'll have to break down and get a KLX.

If I didn't ride in the rain I would have never ridden while I was in Germany...as long as your tires are warmed up they will stick...we teach sport bike riding in the rain because in real life you will get stuck in the rain sometime...
