    I'll be out. Rode into work today. Still have 100 yards of packed snow and ice to trek through from the end of my driveway to clean road but keeping the speed up a little and using the clutch carefully made it fairly easy.

    You guys are rock stars.

    I looked for an escape route this morning to get the bike out and there is just no way. I can't find a pathway to safely get the bike out. Sidewalks icy, street is a sheet and I'm on my tippy toes as it is.

    I hope as many people can get out and enjoy the weather as is possible. Have fun you guys.

    There is at least 6-8 blocks of down hill ice pack in every direction from my house.






    Battery tender? Man I have ridden the thing at least once a week. Who needs a battery tender?

    Bit the bullet and outriggered the FZ1 down the block and a half of ice ruts to the much smoother ice of the main side street, thence to something resembling pavement. Not too bad really.

    OMG can you all say JONES? I think I've got the same situation as many of you guys...alley of ice. But I am calculating in my head as we speak how much ice melt it would take...

    buy a couple of 1x6 boards and push your bike out to the street on those.
