Winter upgrades in full effect, no rush as we will not be riding anytime soon.

Man I know how you feel, this has been one of the worse winters we've had for snow in a long time. All three days of it, somehow I managed though so don't lose any sleep worrying about us.

Yeah know what y'all mean, this was is in south Mississippi last week, very seldom does this happen, roads completely iced over. Then it was 67 and 70 degrees this past Saturday and Sunday, rode my scoot both days.

They closed the base because of a little snow? WTF, is that General a *****? Maybe you can break your neck before you have to paint. Worth a shot.

I'm pretty sure he'd rather close post than have to answer for a few guys from all 50 states die in car wrecks because they're in-experienced in the snow. I've been in 16 years, and have been stationed in all sorts of crap places with foul weather, so I consider myself experienced. These young kids these days don't leave themselves enough time to drive safely in this weather..... Creates quite a problem, no matter what we tell them or how responsible they're "supposed to be"

They closed Fort Carson on Friday. It's the same crap here too. These idiots can't drive when it's sunny and dry outside. They don't need to go anywhere when it's snowing...

That's one thing I miss about snow.....it allowed you time to do some major upgrades without "missing" good riding time! :-)
