Bring it. I wanna see studded tires during the next coastal blizzard. I'm thinking about trying it on my CT-90, but ground clearance could ben an issue. The 'Strom could handle it fine but I'm too cheap to buy new wheels. Am I limited to two wheels (no, not a cage)? ;D I'd actually trust my Gold Wing, it has the weight and balance to keep her steady in snow.

I wouldn't wanna touch a wing in the snow with all that weight. I wasn't thinking once on my old GSX-1100G and was taking it for an early spring ride while I still lived in Detroit. There was a large snowpile about a foot high at end of my driveway that I had to traverse. I figured I'd go smooth and steady right through it. Not so, the rear just spun so I got stuck right in the middle of it. Nobody else was home and the bike was too heavy to push or pull through. I even ended up holding up some traffic before I gave in and had to dig her out. I was embarressed. That's sort of a lame story now that I look at it.

It's Jim we're talking about here. I haven't driven my car since March. Well I lie, I did have to drive it to the airport recently...but only because they won't let you park your bike in the apt parking garage. And I just passed up the opportunity (in the other thread) to say, "When my bitch is out of town, I bang yours!" Anyway, I won't be joining you. I have nothing left to prove since I crossed the Continental Divide in a snow storm. And all that warm stuff makes the Duc seem crowded. Spring, maybe.

Lemme guess, next year when you tell this story again it's going to be a blizzard, right?
