Was a bit chilly....
My buddies driveway is shady, has a spring in it and was covered with 2" of ice most of the way up....that was not fun.
Gratuitous huge snowbank pic

Dude,
How old are you? I rode the entire winter of 80/81. Didn't have much snow that year but it was cold as hell. You are a crazy man, I know first hand how brutal winter riding can be with the sand and cold.

It's my buddy's trike. He loves it. I've ridden it once for 30 minutes or so. Takes some getting used to, but not a bad ride. I won't buy one until I can't ride a two wheeler.Black_And_Blue wrote:How do you like the 3 wheeler?

There aren't many in this area, but more are showing up all the time.

Who was going to strap a rope to that poor Gixxer laying on it's side under the porch?
Any blue tick hounds under there too?

We had a great time. Amazing how an hour on the bike can make everything look different!

Ya...going up wasn't too bad...back down was a little scarier with a 600 pound bike under me. I dumped about 40 pounds of rock salt on the ice just in case!!!Freddy wrote:Good fun! well...'cept for the ice part.
