Thread: SO I took the bike to work today....

    SO I took the bike to work today....

    The main roads are alright, but the area where my work building is located is completely icy and snowy!!! totally.... so i had to drag my feet down doing 2m/h in first gear and I still dropped her twice. No scratches as it was on a snow and I got sliders... but still scary.

    It was fun, but I will stick to the cage for the next few weeks.

    Crazy! I'm not surprised to hear about the area where your building is. Most side streets and parking lots are still covered in snow and if by chance they were plowed, are now iced over. Take it easy out there!

    my bikes won't come out to play until the street glacier in my neighborhood has receded
    Do not put off living the life you dream of. Next year may never come. If we are always waiting for something to change...
    Retirement, the kids to leave home, the weather or the economy, that's not living. That's waiting!
    Waiting will only leaves us with unrealized dreams and empty wishes.

    I probably would have ridden today, but my seat is being reupholstered...Getting out of the neighborhood would have sucked, though...
    Thanks, Jim

    Werd! I have a polar ice cap instead of a road in front of my house.

    Have been riding the DR around the neighborhood on the hard snowpack. I've found I get in more trouble when going too slow as well. Studs would sure be nice though. The VFR won't come out of the garage now until there's a clear path of pavement out of the neighborhood.

    going back home during lunch, I noticed that all roads are a bit slick... even the dry areas. so I would not recommend coming out if you got regular tires.
