Just got in from riding about 18 miles in a fast moving sleet storm!
That sucked!!

 

Hey, at least it wasn't Freezing rain. :
Close to Freezing rain but not quite as hard.

 

must've been the storm that hit us this morning..... woke up to snow

 

I got caught in a sleet storm last year. I was only twelve miles from home but that was the longest twelve miles I ever rode.

 

Well I'll give ya that. Everytime I stopped at a light I was checkin' the
road with my boot to see how slick it was. Didn't get slick, just wet.

You must be up around Salt Lake or Provo. Just checked the radar and
the storms don't appear to be connected.


Gettin' pelted in the face isn't the worst of it. I can take a certain
amount of that. It's not being able to see and wondering how slick it
is. Thank God I had on my fingerless gloves and Harley logoed "Road Warrior" jacket.

 

 

glad U make it home safe...
Hows the Elk and Deer season this yr. Used to hunt out there back in the 70's & 80's
camped around Alamosa and Monte Vista.....

Just made me think of a pair of peaks the locals called Dolly Pardons......Man thats been a while......

 

Yaa, sleet hurts like hell. I was caught in it about 30 miles from home and it tore my friggin' face off, I mean I was bleeding. Not much, but there was blood. Might of helped if we had slowed down a bit, naaa, screw it I'm to pretty anyways.

 

Last nights little storm turned into...








This!!


Something tells me it's gonna be a looong winter!

 

It's snow'n like a son of gun in Denver right now...it is suppose to be 60 this weekend. I love it here.
