    I love colorado, but...

    It was chilly, but ok this morning... an hour later its white-out conditions. This was after I got dried off, so most had melted already.

    Yeah, it was sunny at my place this morning but my instincts told me to cage it. As I watch stuff roll in, I'm glad I made that choice.

    Cold is ok. Wet is ok. I just don't like cold and wet.

    I never laid that one down. I dropped it about 2 months after I got it. The red bike, on the other hand, is a different story.

    Re: I love colorado, but...

    Excellent. I have one of those too





    The worst one was back in January. This was only a couple of houses but in January I did that for 20 or 30 houses on the SV, and the roads were just about ice. I riggered it down to where I was going which was ok but going back up the slight incline I was holding the SV up by sheer muscle.
