I rode the Kawa Kl 250 in the UK in the snow for years. Once you get the hang of it, it's fun. You just look like the michellin man with all the layers of clothing.
I spent my therapy money an a K1200S
The therapy worked, I got a GS now
A touch of insanity crept back in the shape of an R1200R

Went for a ride earlier. Pretty sucky. Slipped on ice MANY times, resulting in a down'd bike and a ride on the ground. Ugh. Found a nice dirt/mud/ice road that will be fun once it warms up and dries up. Just couldn't bring it past 2nd gear without that rear wheel getting squirrely on me.
I can back covered in mud, exhausted, over heated (that gear is REALLY warm in 45*) and in mild pain. All in all, a good ride.

No really? Are you sure? And here I thought I was an American all this time, good news is I can stop hating myself for being American.-Holiday wrote:Sevulturus wrote:We've had 3 feet of snow in the last two weeks. Makes me want to slit my wrists. LoL
You are aware you live in Canada right?
Alberta has had a remarkably mild winter this year, with it being warm enough to ride only three weeks ago, however we've had a COLD snap and the snow has been piling up. So I'm understandably dissapointed about not being able to ride. In fact I've started twitching when I think about it.
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

Why on earth would you hate Americans?
Also It isnt healthy for you to hate yourself. You should talk to someone
Good luck with the snow. I suspect you'll have lots more of it.

Nothing personal, I just have a general hate for America, something to do with your foreign policy and arrogance...
Good to know that I live in Canada though, so I don't need to hate myself.
