Popular Post david wild Posted December 4, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted December 4, 2016 No ride no more since dude decided to use my side of road to take corner faster on his way to work, forgetting that I might also be using my side of road, hence trip to hospital and week out of work and few more stitches added to the collection. Tried to makes excuses, head on with bike on wrong side of road, really ???? 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/47880-great-day-for-a-motorcycle-ride/#findComment-353981 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vladislav Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Looks like the road was slippery a bit closer to the end of the ride. Don't know how it was easy for you but seeing the smiles on your faces I suppose it was Ok.

RowdyRebel Posted December 6, 2016 Author Share Posted December 6, 2016 I love the snow...have no use for the cold unless it's snowing. It isn't the first time I've ridden in the snow...19 years now riding that ride...1st Sunday in December...in Chicago. It's only weather...keeps life interesting.

TeamsterGrrrl Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Back around '80 the rain switched over to snow around my last drop and by the time I got back to the depot and put the trailer and tractor away it was 3 am and an inch of fresh snow on the ground. Rode home on the RD400 at about half usual speed, no big deal as snow was melting underneath and made it the 10 miles home fine.

BillyT Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 I'm not a biker,but they are real popular in Florida and a couple of guys get injured or killed every week in Tampa Bay, and it is almost always when a motorist pulls out in front of them or changes lanes into them! The guy who got me into trucking was a hard core biker and he and almost everyone I knew who "rode" had laid one down or was involved in some incident with a four wheeler!

RowdyRebel Posted December 7, 2016 Author Share Posted December 7, 2016 Yeah, I had some of that heated gear...loved it, too...but got to where I didn't fit what I had anymore and gave it to my little brother who had just dropped off his truck at home and was getting ready to ride his motorcycle back to base (in Montana) before deploying. I just haven't replaced it yet, even though that was probably 10-12 years ago. Quote When approaching a 4-way stop, the vehicle with the biggest tires has the right of way!

Vladislav Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Probably your low ride highway cruisers are relatively snow-friendly. Once I drove my buddie's Yamaha Drag Star 1300 but never did it off a pavement. As of my experience my Honda VFR800 sport turer just gets horizontal after you try to start on wet clay or snow and ice. If you are catched up with a rain in a middle of grassy field you better get out to a paved road ASAP. Probably it's a matter of heigth of the center of gravity.

TeamsterGrrrl Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Need a sidecar for serious winter riding. Even with a sidecar, I've had to start in 2nd gear with even an underpowered 650 cc. BMW outfit to avoid massive wheel spin.
