i have many years practice so its no problem to me my bike is my only transportation so i need to ride everyday .rain sun or snow , thats why i bought it .
kinda seperates the men from the fair weather "sunshine" little boys who can only ride when its above 70 deg sunny with no chance of rain . you can tell who they are by their negative posts.
live to ride , and ride safe

No way i'd ride while its snowing. Rode today though, no ice on the roads in NYC, just a little wet in the morning.
BUT as i was cruising at 65 on the Long Island Express way a car who didn't clean the snow/ice off the roof of the car passes me doing about 85 and shifts into my line, a piece about 1'x6" flies off his roof and hit me square in the chest. No damage or anything, just made me a little angry.

You've got to be out of your mind riding over the past day or so in the northeast - snow, freezing rain, ice!!!
On my way home from work yesterday morning almost every overpass was frozen. Auto accidents all over the place. Why would you ever try to ride in those conditions?

my bike is my only transportation , i ride every day all weather , there was a 35 car pile up on I95 just 2 miles from me and one car over the rail 2 guys killed
i could just as easily die in a cage. ive been riding for many many years i can and do ride in all condition because i can and need to . and i hate the bridges and overpassed in the snow and deep cold, i know the roads and definatly avoid those.

I like "sunshine riders." It's so true tho. I don't need to ride in the cold because I can take the metro to go to work but I still ride my bike throughout the winter, except when the roads are covered with snow.
One can admire your determination and how a Sporty can handle those conditions!
