WELL, we made it to Nov 22, and STILL riding !!!!!
BUT the wedderman say, taking a turn for the worser, tonite and tomorrow.
With that tidbit o' info, thought it 'fitting' to look at some "Basic" winter driving stats. You know, jus' gittin' that "mindset".





98% of ALL people say "OH SH*T" jus' before going in the ditch on a slippery road.

The other 2% are from South Dakota, and say, "Hold my beer, WATCH THIS !!!!"

Any additional stats, Mo' than WELKUM !!!!!
