    on route 11, road was plowed but still snowcovered with an inch or so, I could comfortably maintain 45mph, on river road, gravel surface, last pass with a snowplow was about 4-5 inches ago was sketchy on the ride down cause the wind was putting the snow in my face and I couln't see where I was going well, goes well in virgin snow, but in churned up and rutted snow, it slides the front wheel a bit, the return trip was better, snow was at my back, I could see the best line, no problem cofortably maintaining 30mph

    about 10 miles total, stopped at the liquor store, anne took a pic of me, then I went to the post office, then back home

    the studded Karoo T in front is at 50% wear, not as good as it was new for sure but still adequate, the General Altimax Artic in the rear is awesome, but when the snow gets about 6" deep, the front begins to plow instead of roll, and the belly pan begins to drag on the snow and I begine to loose traction in the rear

    Hey man- Nice of you to let that homeless guy pose next to your bike.. But it looks like he is putting his 3 week old pair of fudged underwear in your helmet though. Might want to go and check on that.

    I'm sure it was a lot more fun than taking the car! I'd think it'd be a blast, actually. These threads always make me want to plate a dirty bike for the winter.

    Nice bike!!! Got the same one.

    Do I see mirror extenders and a Madstad bracket?

    Also, did you mount your Pelicans with Givi adapters?

    Crazy Bastard, I should have taken mine out for a ride yesterday too! Don't have the nobbies and studs though! Ride on!
