I used to think that there was nothing that I wouldn't want to do on a motorcycle. But you, sir, have found it. Ef that noise. Cold cutters or not - there's no way I'd be around all of those cars, all while freezing my *** off and barely being able to feel the handlebars.
And did I see a red light on his dash? Possibly indicating an FI light or oil light (not sure if it's a carb'd monster or FI monster)?

And looks to be a carbed monster. Looks like he adjusts the choke when he first starts.
I see him cutting through those slush wakes. I don't like doing that in the car, nevermind a bike...

IMHO, this video proves that just because you can do something doesn't mean you should.
I grew up riding bikes in the snow and ice. But I did it on quiet country roads. If I saw 1 vehicle every 5 miles I was lucky. And I rarely went over 30 mph.
I've seen far too many cars/trucks lose control on winter roads and crash into whatever is in their path. I just wouldn't want that to be me.

Right ^ No matter how much I used to love whipping my dirt bikes around fields, down old lanes, no matter how fun taking a snowmobile on the covered roads was, no matter how much I LOVE my street bike, I would never do that to that extent. LIke the above has said, the traffic is going to be the kicker here. THere are just wayyyy too many variables going on in everyone elses heads that you can damn near bet the house that that little guy or gal on the bike isnt a top priority. Very ****ty though because you know we as riders are keeping 100% (or should be) focus on THEM. I just dont like those kinds of returns. Hell, might as well throw some snow studs on there and take it off road to the destination, probably be more fun too!
