Slick drive home tonight...

#1 Unread post by Wrider »

And to think, I was thinking of taking the bike this morning! Sorry for the bad quality of the pics, but it gets the point across!

To put those in perspective, our road was paved with fresh asphalt two years ago, and is a solid black, non-reflective...
Earlier when I was driving home, I literally saw a UPS truck burning out trying to get up a hill that's usually no problem whatsoever for anyone except rear-wheel drive performance cars with performance tires! Also saw a Camaro on the same hill going up sideways the entire way... It was the only way his car would make it, but somehow he pulled it off!!!

Snow still hasn't stopped for you yet huh?

After the slushy stuff fell on Monday morning the roads were cleared by the afternoon and by today it looked like most of the hazardous stuff was gone and made for good clean ride on the bike. It's expected to become 50 over the week so the storm we'll get is just rain.
One thing you can count on: You push a man too far, and sooner or later he'll start pushing back.
