must be cause I thought 2 days ago was bad and then the next day got worse. I have already blowed my driveway 3x in 2 days and one of those was before I headed for bed.
Viper I dont know. all they had to do was change the rim and straighten the handle bars. My guess is they are busy with snowmobilles so until they get it fixed im not paying them a penny. Plus they will deliver it to my house for free.

I guess the people who repaired my bike in the first accident did me a favor by hauling my bike back to me on a flatbed in the winter. I guess I could do them a return favor and mention that they are Bronx Powersports (at least I hope it still is).
Yeah well NYC has gotten hit pretty bad. The snow was cleared from the main roads except for the curb area, meanwhile the side streets were totally neglected and now many have iced over. Front wheel and rear wheel drive cars must plan carefully to back out of driveways in my neighborhood.

Still, at least if you had it back you could visit it from time to time. Maybe wipe the snow off her dash, caress her wheels....
Damnit, I want to ride now, lol.

LOL, I hear that. Supposed to be 40-42 degrees tomorrow. I may ride to grandma's for the xmas gathering. The problem is, it really IS over the hill and through the woods, there's probably still snow on the roads up there. Roads here are clear of snow.

Maybe adding some tire studs will let you ride in the snow. The Aerostitch catalogue lists studs for scooters to adventure bikes. I know I would like to give them a go some day.

lol well it is a sheet of ice out right now.... heck I was doing 75mph (5mph slower than normal cause I wasnt using cruise control) all the way home tonight and it was black ice throughout most of the highway. I passed some people like they were standing still. So in essance its not necesserily the speed at which you drive which causes you to go into ditch's but instead can you handle the speed to which you are driving...
