Snow Motorcycling in Michigan Today

Post by vxiirider »

The picnic table in our back yard has accumulated snow since December. There was 16" on it this morning and probably another 6 inches by now and the snow isn't supposed to quit until Tuesday. Think Spring !!!!!!!!!!!!

When I live on the mountain I rode the Harley down the hill one Christmas day to meet with the family. When I left the house it was 21* and sunny, in full gear and chaps with nothing heated, my hands were numb within 5 miles along with my face. I was in a fullface with a neoprene face condom and heavy thinsulate gauntlets. Only my hands and face suffered....it was a good thing that it was only 22 miles to the bottom of the hill and temps in the 50's.... :oh:
