Is it just me or.......

Man, I've never seen snow! I don't know a thing about driving in it, hell even walking in it. I don't think I wouldn't even attempt it unless I was off road, maybe. It probably would be to cold to go outside for me anyway. I have to be in Boston the first week of April, hope all that cold stuff is gone by then.

Should be gone by then, right now there is 12-18" piled up everywhere that isn't a roadway where I am right now. You get used to it after awhile plus places that have this thing called "winter" have the right equipment for dealing with it. At least the sun has been out the past few days, beats a dreary typical winter day in Iowa. I am just glad I am only here part time. Looking forward to getting back to the Vmax and putting some miles on it next week.

Some crazy ******** kids came and picked up a GS500 I had for sale. They just had to have it yesterday. He had to push the bike 2 blocks though snow to get to the main road where the streets were clear. He rode it home from there. Temp was about 11 I think.

If it was his first bike ............ I can understand it. :clapping::clapping::clapping:

I drove from little rock Ark. to McCamey Texas in a major ice storm two years ago, about 650-700 miles.

The first 450 were on freeway with about 3-6" of ROUGH ice/sand casserole resulting from ice layers, the big rigs busting it up, sand going in, more ice then more trucks, more sand and repeat. Man that surface was rougher than a preachers head on Monday morning. Had no idea it would be that rough. Beat the crap out of me.

Total white knuckle experience, driving 25-35 hours on end watching car after car end up in the ditch.

Didn't help being in a van at the time, one with no limited slip so essentially it was a ONE wheel drive.

Not very experienced on ice but figured it out pretty quickly; DO NOT DO ANYTHING QUICKLY OR YOU WILL BE A VICTIM OFYOUR OWN INERTIA,

It is as simple as that.

Almost every car I watched take a dive was due to too rapid of a lane change, acceleration or deceleration sometimes combined with too much confidence.

I shouldn't have been out there at all but a customer needed us badly.

Plus I got overtime 24/7 for almost a week due to the drive and the job so that was cool.

That's the key to winter driving....don't do anything quickly, don't do anything stoopid! Be nice and smooth and be looking way ahead for problems cause your vehicle response will be considerably longer.

And RELAX, if you're tense and nervous....park it!

Of course none of this applies to heavy interstate and commuter driving where you can get swept up in something over which you have zero control. If that happens....try to find the softest thing around to hit, then stay in your vehicle till the whole thing is over!
