you rode with snow on the ground?? i have yet to do that. i'll ride in cold weather... teens... but i like leaning and snow doesn't allow that too well... scares me :)
I've gone riding when there was snow on the ground. I was just going to go the other day, but then my man and his brother gave me shit, so I didn't.

I will take mine for a spin after work. There snow should be all melted by later today. I have a hard enough time on dry pavement. I can't even imagine what snow would be like.

Just be careful, your tires are like rocks. They get very stiff, so don't be taking turns low and stuff, you'll ass out. Your best bet is ride like a grandma/grandpa in cold weather.

Thanks for the tip. I will be careful (At least in the turns).

No problem, it's better to be aware than learn the hard way.

actually went riding for a bit yesterday. it warmed up to about 40 but there was still some snow on the ground. it wasn't too bad... just a few slick spots but was able to avoid them. wouldn't ride at night though... too hard to see those damn slick spots!
