When I was a kid, we would screw hex head sheet metal screws into the raised lugs of knobby tires and ride with abandon in the snow and ice. Now? I can barely walk outside with ice and snow...... lol.

On the way home from work.

Ron, you have a camera crew!?

Last night I rode back from a murder mystery party, 40 minutes from home in 28°F. My personal record for +30 minute cold weather riding is an hour’s ride in 24°F on the BMW rig a couple years ago. I can do better. Which reminds me, I need to change out this rear knobby real ‘soon!

Closed up shop early because of incoming blizzard. We were a copier service company with techs out on the road. Sent them all home and closed up early. Service Manager happened to be following me home. Caught the photo at a Stop light. It's one of my favorite.

But for those who ask; I'm not doing anything beyond what snow mobilers do for recreation. I just dress like they do and have a grand time. Means I get to ride 12 months out of the year!

Actually more pleasant than riding in the rain.
