where do u live canada ?

 

Snow does suck, but is a necessary evil here in CO. Without the water, there'd be no water for the front range, let alone filling the Colorado River which supplies water to Las Vegas, a large percentage of Arizona and SoCal!

 

Screw that, go ride in it. I did.

 

You are one bad bad man!!!!! Or crazy as hell. That looks entirely too cold. My hat is off to you though.

 

Well, I'm a dumb ***. I live in Florida, but I decided to rent a Harley in Salt Lake City and ride down to Las Vegas for my vacation. The idea was to take some back roads and enjoy the mountains.

I flew in and spent the night at some cheap HoJo and woke up to rain. As I lugged my gear from the hotel down the sidewalk to the Harley dealer, the rain was stinging my face and felt like ice. By the time I got to the dealer, it was snow. There was just a BIG *** storm coming in from the west.

The dealer got me inside to warm up and then the power went out. They advised me to wait on the storm because it would suck to ride through those mountain passes in a blizzard. Well, I waited around until Noon. This stuff really wasn't letting up, it was just getting tougher. We caught a small break at noon and I dashed for the bike. It's no fun to spend your vacation waiting in a dealership with no electricity and nothing to do.

I wasn't more than three blocks from the store ready to get on I-15 when the snow was just as thick as before, plus there was a lot of gusty wind blowing in from the west. Naturally, I was the only fool riding a motorcycle in this mess. My thought was to keep moving south and it's got to warm up so the snow turns to rain, if nothing else.

That eventually proved to be correct, after riding for six hours in the snow and strong winds. Snow was building up on the windshield and blowing over in my face. My helmet face-shield kept fogging up, so I had to vent it a bit and let the snow hit my face (along with the freezing cold at highway speeds). When I stopped to use a restroom, my fingers were all sorts of colors that I'd never seen before (those FRX gloves aren't truly All-Weather, as advertised).

Overall, it was a MISERABLE experience. I was nearly in Arizona before the snow stopped, but the winds kept going. That Virgin Gorge area is a real pain with the winds howling, too.

I finally got into Las Vegas about sunset. From there on out, the weather was great. I also had a great ride back up to SLC. Now that the miserable part is over, it's just one of those stories about the kind of lousy weather I'd ridden through. Everyone should have something like that (if they can survive it).

 

i've rode in the snow but not that far

 

Oh, now I understand; It was a rental!!!! I wouldn't dream of taking my bike out in that kind of weather but a rental is different!

 

 

That bike was damn FILTHY when I got to Vegas, too. So was my rain suit. At least the local car wash place made a few bucks off me, because I couldn't stand riding around with that much dirt on a bike, even a rental.
