    Snow sucks

    I tried ,I did not think it would be to bad . I tried to ride a 500 lb vfr in the snow:I ride all the time and I have done it before . But this time there was rain to start then it got cold and started to snow so there was snow on top of ice . I got to the first hill . dorped it . no damage because it fell over in the snow . I turned around and slid back to work and droped it at the door . Broke the right side mirror.($76 dollars) Managed to get it back inside. minor scratch on the right side and a broken mirror and a long walk home in full gear . but I had a FM Cardo scala rider Head set so I could listen to the radio.
    and take calls:cool:

    Sorry to here about your drops :frown: Hopefully I will learn through your experience... doubt it though.

    Right now there is salt on the roads especially at intersections and corners. Temp is close to minus and for sure minus when its sunny out. Just doesn't seem worth the risk. I guess if your riding well traveled roads in mid day it will be better.
