Snow, snow and more f'ing snow. - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

And I don't mean good snow. So far, about 6" of that really heavy wet snow. The kind you can dish out a concussion with an average size snow ball. The 60 lbs. per shovel full type of snow.

< sigh >

I too, was in denial. My gear sits ready next to the bike, waiting for a sunny day above freezing. Alas, it's time for winter servicing and the season for mods. Nothing to see on the roads but dirty snow, seas of salt and dunes of wet sand.

Forecast - Snow today, snow Tues. and surprise surprise, snow showers Wed.

Wonder if I could design a bolt on ski kit for the Bandit ?

I could think of at least one other Bandito who might be interested.

We had over a foot of the white stuff, Sat and Sun., then the pineapple express warmed us up, from 30 to 56 and rained.
Good thing the low ground is on the south side of the border!!!

Yep, same here. 6" on Sat. snow expected for tues, thurs & sat. Maybe this is the year to buy a sled.

Yes you did.

It was 36 this am for the ride to work.

The town had it's Christmas parade on Sat. I ride "M" in the parade along with our church float. For the parade I had taken my larger windshild off and put the smaller one for better air flow.

I remembered that I had done that as soon as I hit the highway.

Yeah, maybe just a little. To think, this time last year, I was doing siding and decks in a t-shirt.

omegajim · 12-03-2007, 09:42 PM

Mid 30's is a really bad temperature. The rain moves in and you get sleet.

Navy_p503 · 12-03-2007, 09:48 PM

We got about 6 inches last week, it's all about gone though. I'm hoping to go Snowboarding in two weeks! I can't wait, I didn't get to go at all last season.

Rockhead · 12-04-2007, 12:10 AM

Hmm Emoticons, Yeah more middle fingers are needed.

blackie1491 · 12-04-2007, 12:36 AM

The Grinch was a Paleskin before having Don's Chili.

Don would think the middle finger was a compliment!!!!
