There's no such thing as a "riding season"...

Man that is one serious rider I tell ya. Its either he caught in the snow for way to work or something like, OR this dude just has a death with. Riding a bike on snow is a really dumb and dangerous idea. But hey, to each of its own you know.
 
no way, Jose. I wouldn't do it. SoCal grown....

+1 This goes for me as well. MS grown. If the weather man talks about flurries or sleet around here, the schools are let out, and there is not a gallon of milk or loaf of bread at a store anywhere. Definitely not motorcycles.
 
He's not a seasoned winter rider - otherwise he'd know to keep out tof he crap in the middle of the lane. :justkidding:

Wouldn't catch me doing that, but I did spend a whole winter passing the same guy on a Ruckus every workday - some days he looked like a snowman on that thing. At least if you drop the Ruckus you can't hurt much and you can pick it up easy enough.
 
I was court in weather like that they year before last.
Did a coast to coast here in Denmark, - and when I headed out from the west coast the weather was sunny, cold but not freezing.
Once I got within 100Km's of the east coast, - snow was hammering down, big trucks spreading salt everywhere ....
But, - since there is no way I would leave my bike in the middle of nowhere, - I just had to keep going!,- took me a good 2,5 hours to do the last 100Km/60 miles .......
 
I've seen a few of them up here on my way to work on BMW's and some other larger Sport Touring bikes cruising along in this stuff likes its just another day going to work, :eek: not for me tho!
 
I kept riding all winter again this year, as long as:
A. The roads were dry, and
B. It was above 22 F. Anything colder and my faceshield frosts up and I can't keep it clear (I tried riding with the faceshield up, once... that was enough :eek:)
