F That!!! Better you than me

Reminds me of when I first moved to Colorado and went for a ride on my low rider in my jeans and t shirt on a 85 degree day....ended up riding through rain, hail and it must've been 35 degrees up there....worst ride ever!!! but, lesson learned.

Not calling it either way but the bikes do look suspiciously clean. Been there done that myself. 100 miles of snow on way home from a PGR mission. Managed without having to change drawers but white knuckle factor was tense to say the least.

Cmon guys - I doubt there's salt there (thus the snow on the road), so they're just wet.
