Default Cold climate riders, it could be worse!

I know many of you cold climate riders can't wait for spring but let me tell ya it could be worse. Just got back from a work trip to Nome Alaska. It was -24 when I arrived and never really go above 0 with snow on the ground. Also check out the gas prices. Wonder if anyone on here lives and rides there?

Yeah, thats crazy. I always wondered how our bothers and sisters in places like Alaska or Edmonton manage to stay sane.

I've ridden in 25 consecutive months in Michigan, but still, I'm moving south the first chance I get.

If you lived there you would need one of these to get your fix



I wonder if they sell a kit for Harleys?

Ah come on girls. Gerbings gear and a set of spike/knobby tires and you are good to go. I bet they don't even put salt on the roads. Geez....
