Still Warm......

We got a lot of good products to try out manufactures are sending lots of product for us to evaluate. But the temps are not conducive to testing cold weather gear.... Nice to have warm weather and sunshine, but when were trying to test cold weather gear? Hmmm Maybe we will do some warm weather gear testing, that way it is guaranteed to get cold... All go just enjoy your ride and dress right. This weekend it it supposed to cool off then WOOOO HOOOOO it is more product evaluation time... And more riding....

WINTER CLINICS

Keep your tires on the ground and enjoy your ride...

Just had to ride today

Well woke up a few times in the night winds were like 60mph woke up to... Lot of snow!

So since I have nothing in my house to eat and the streets are fairly clear I thought i would go for a ride...

Well that kinda Sucked, Rode by Teds on North on way to my friend Nicks 3 blocks west and it was open. But when I got back by there they were closed, The worst part was seeing people still eating and drinking COFFEE.. It smelled awsum.
But the door was locked! I did not look that strange!
So it was a loaf of bread and OJ.. From the gas station. ;( Back about 6 blocks west

So it was about 3 or 4 blocks to Nicks, 2 blocks back to find out Teds was closed then back about 6 blocks to the gas station then back the 6+ blocks home
Did get a lil ride in on this, the snowiest day in many years... Lefty with Conti Studs Worked Awsum!

I know I hate to see all that XTR in the snow but it is flawless....
Cant tell that bike is almost 12 years old...

WOOOOHOOOOOO i rode on the snowiest day of the year...

Blizzard in Milwaukee Wi.

Well I don't think I can ride today even with the Studded tires... There's over 20" of snow now and 50mph winds, If they clear the roads I'll try to ride.... I don't think work will even open, all schools closed and they have called a State of Emergency.
It is 3:30 am and the wind is whipping away and the snow is looking awsum....

News just broke in and poor weather man looks tired!

wow steady wind is 43 MPH and gusts at over 60mph..... WooooHoooooooo

Here we go again.............

Glad i have my new Conti Studded Snow Tires....

Going to hit the bike this afternoon and do a snow ride. Not much happening here on Milwaukee's East Side now, but I know it will soon. Lake affect...
So im getting my riding cloths together and I will ride to Roast have a cup of Java then hit the road. Maybe do like 20 miles....

Look at this forecast.... WOOOOOHOOOOOOO
