Wouldn't you arrive at your destination completely muddy & wet?

when does every one stop riding??

- Start date
If there was less than an inch of slush, I didn't even notice it. Getting out of the ruts in that picture involved a bit of sliding around and possibly spraying gawking pedestrians in slush, but then I was back into the inch of slush and it barely even felt like wet concrete. I did over an hour of slushy side streets leading up to that picture, and it was perfectly composed.
I just got in from over 4 hours of aimless riding around. There was a residential street in Oakville that was a real mess, thick slush with some hardpacked snow underneath that felt like unstable mud, I suppose. I didn't stick around to test my non-existent trail skills against all the cars in the area.
I'm pretty pleased with the tires so far.
Nope. I suppose may have been a hint of salt to the bottom edges of my pants, and my boots were a mess. A handy snowbank helped clean the boots off.
I know at some point, especially after a not-rush-hour commute in, my pants will probably end up being soaked in salty spray as they have in the past. I'll start wearing rain overpants to prevent that, someday.

Wow, what a great idea. Next time I can't make it up a icy incline, I'm zigzagging!!!!!!
Should be just fine.
Should be just fine.
It was nice out today! I didn't see anyone else though, so my peace sign left hander is quite antsy.
Was so nice, that the bike barely even got dirty/spray.
I'll take it!
Good to know. I always just park on the sidewalk by the statue in front of the cinema with all the squids. No problems thus far. Thought about parking my car there last time we were there but figured I'd have more issues with that one. lol
it's all a matter of gear. I wear a suit and tie to work and commute from March until November. One ride in to work I hit a big puddle of wet concrete on a backroad (probably 20 or 30 feet long and about 6 inches deep.) this doesn't do it justice but here is an idea how the bike looked when I got to work:
My suit underneath was clean and dry.

I'm convinced that V-Tom could ride through just about anything and come-out untouched.

Don't need to commute again till Jan....so, rinsed the bike off, went for a short ride, filled the tank, rinsed it off again and blow dried her and put her on stands today.
Looks like it will be great few days for riding. Looking forward to that +8 tomorrow, rain or not.
