Went out for a nice ride this afternoon, once it had warmed up to -14C (7F). Wore my skull face mask and my electric vest. :righton: WOW I am impressed! I'm afraid I'll hit ice and dump it when it's that cold. The streets aren't to clear around as well we havn't had this much snow in years and they...

No way, this is America, for god sakes, and I want my freedom. In fact, I do not like the fact that I have to get any sort of license what so ever. UK generally sucks in all things related to automotive laws, and they suck in this respect as well. I like people getting R1s as their first bike and k...
