Yup, Philly is getting real snow right now. Even if it's a couple inches, even if it melts in a day, riding is done till the first rain and I salt the driveway.

PennDOT is notorious for being late on salting the roads... then using a whole dump truck in a single block. So there'll be salt dust on the roads till a good rain washes it away. And from experience, the driveway turns into an ice rink that does not melt since it's between 2 4 story buildings so it gets little direct sunlight.

 

I feel your pain. I'm in northern Indiana where we got nailed with about 5" over night and expecting more I was planning on putting my new levers and chrome wheels on my bike but I have to ride the bike to my dads shop... yeah, needless to say it isn't going to happen today... wait two weeks I guess. I only have every other weekend off I really wanted the snow for Christmas then poof! be gone lol. Oh well...

 

I wont get to ride until late April or May in NY so idk about all this complaining business haha

 

kuro, aren't you guys right in line for that storm that chicago just got? i don't think the snow is going away

problem solved

 

Has snowed a total of around 12-15" over the past couple weeks here in Wisconsin. It was also -11º a couple days ago. So no sympathy.

 

None?!? Aw come on! I've got a brand new BMW s1000rr with 16 miles on her and I can't get the power unlocked till I hit 600 miles. That's gotta be worth some sympathy points!

I know I'm getting near insanity cause I caught myself thinking "hmm... I wonder just how good this ABS & traction control system is. BMW did mention snow in the manual..."

 

Well now I just don't like you.

 

hahaha.... I was in Indianapolis yesterday and saw a guy bundled up on his Goldwing with a side car. Granted they didnt have near the snow "we" have but still. I guess if I had a trike I'd be the same way though.

 

hey kuro.......where are those pics of your BMW......i think youre just pulling our chains for $hit and gigles.....

and those snow tires look tempting. i wonder if they are reasonable price.
