#5We had the storm last night that you are waiting on...received 5" of white stuff. Quite different here from Arizona, but would not change a thing. FLORIDA...are you selling your Duke? Unless you are gonna ride to North Georgia, the only turns you are gonna make is in/out of your driveway!!

#6Winter in CA: it was really annoying today because I had to wear an extra layer under my jacket. I simply cannot handle these 60 degree days. Plus it rained last night so ill have to wash some road splatter off the underside when I get home. Sometimes I wonder why I bother riding at all during the winter, seems like more trouble than its worth...

#8Its a steady rain here in NC/VA. Nothing crazy but I swear there were at least 10 accidents on my way from NC. I don't see how, my RX8 got me home safe and sound. People just can't drive I guess.

#9Yep, it's almost peak winter here as well, today was about 20 (Celsius, that is..) and sunny blue skies. There are talks about rain maybe next week...

#10The good thing (and only good thing I can think of) about winter is it gives me time to catch up on maintenance, my bank account heals, and I don't go through nearly as much oil or tyres.
Worst part is the truckloads of sand dumped everywhere. Travel lanes for bikes are much narrower unless you like riding on dirt roads at 60mph.
We get highs in the 50's every few days so riding is still enjoyable every couple of weeks.

#13Quebec law-
From December 15 to March 15, all taxis and passenger vehicles registered in Québec must be equipped with winter tyres. This requirement also applies to rental passenger vehicles in Québec, as well as mopeds, motorized scooters and motorcycles.
Know where to find snow tyres in SD sizes? We received around 18" of fresh powder today

#16Winter tyres need this marking to be legal...
Haven't seen any lately.
I remember seeing some trelleborg or something that had the marking a few years back but the sizes were on the skinny side.

#25Today ,,,snow starting around 2PM ,now 8PM and six inches of snow ,,,plow's are out,,wind picking up to blow it around,,,cold 28F,,,it sucks more every minute,,,first thing in the AM will be snowblowing the drive and four wheeling out for a hot mug,, then back to melt off,,,Florida might be straight but flip flops n pretty young things running around scantily clad would be a blessing right now and speed week is right around the corner,, and perhaps a free lap or two,,,it's a long way to turn 6,,,,,,,,,,,
