Winter

adouglas · February 6th, 2010, 09:39 AM

Okay, I've had about enough of it.

Just sayin'.

Snake · February 6th, 2010, 09:45 AM

Great pic. I'm ready for spring to get here as well but according to the groundhog we have 6 more weeks of winter.

Racer x · February 6th, 2010, 10:59 AM

In Baltimore city we got two feet on the ground five foot drifts and it is still coming down.It is only 1:00 It is not supposed to stop snowing till Sunday. I will be riding a mountain bike to work Monday. O I hate winter

ScraitT · February 6th, 2010, 11:18 AM

Whats that white stuff?

It's sunny, mid 70s, and a perfectly clear sky here

...and theres actually idiots out there complaining that the superbowl shouldn't be here because we don't have a roof on our stadium. Who the hell needs one?

With those temps you definetly don't need a roof.

I Hate It too. We got less snow this year than last 2 so that's a bit better at least.. GRRR

Sailariel · February 9th, 2010, 06:23 PM

We got up to 38F today--the first thaw in two weeks. I did get out for a bicycle ride and that felt real good. Got lots of projects done on the Ninja. I drained the gas tank yesterday and ran the carbs dry. Put the gas in the cage, and then got fresh gas for the bike and treated it with Marine Stabil. That should last till I start riding again. It is a good idea to change the gas every three months. That "weasel piss" they put in the gas these days can really create some issues.

Slabrocks · February 9th, 2010, 09:51 PM

F snow!!!!
6 fresh inches in northern indiana today.
Im ready to start the spring touring season.

BlueTyke · February 10th, 2010, 12:35 AM

Sorry... I can't help but laugh... I flew out just as the first storm hit... Baltimore got it good (As stated).. And is getting it good again while I enjoy the slightly damp CA weather ^^

yep, getting pretty sick and tired of it myself

Slabrocks · February 10th, 2010, 06:21 AM

Im ready to just brave whatever i need to until i make it south enough to find the warmth.

Racer x · February 10th, 2010, 06:31 AM

My motorcycle is set up for racing so I cant ride it on the street anyhow . and I am still working on it.. winter is a good time for that

ninja250 · February 10th, 2010, 08:20 AM

Hate to say it but Southern California needs more water. We have (had) a drought and still have a water problem even without it.
We had no water before all these rains came. All my favorite fishing lakes were either closed or drawn down. The rains are like a godsend. It hasn't rained this much here in 5-10 years at least.
I'm happy to see the rain even though I won't ride in it.

All the hills around my normally desert location are green with growth! It's beautiful!

I do however notice winter brings out the haters. Specially on the fishing forums because all the fish are deep and making anglers angry. lol

Years ago, I was more that willing to ride in an inch or so of snow if it was fresh. I don't think I am as brave/stupid as then, but it could help if I get stuck in a tight spot.

Racer x · February 10th, 2010, 08:45 AM

I rode a VFR 800 in Six inches of snow. It was fine till I tried to go up hill. I will ride a scooter in snow. I just put out my feet and let the auto trans do its thing. Problem is braking.

Snake · February 10th, 2010, 09:04 AM

Try puting some knobies on the bike. They work great in dirt but I am not sure about the snow.

Racer x · February 10th, 2010, 10:28 AM

the problem is once you get going it is hard to slow down and change direction . So you have to slow way down to turn. Once you fall over from going to slow . It is hard to pick up most bikes when it is slippery outside.
The 250 ninja is great because it is light and low enough to slide your weight back .

I would like to ride a tw200 from Yamaha in the snow see how it would go

Mo1981 · February 11th, 2010, 09:42 PM

It's crazy. DFW got 8-9 inches today. WTF?

Snake · February 11th, 2010, 09:54 PM

Here in Alexandria, louisiana we are expected to get 2 to 6 inches of snow. The news is telling everyone to stay home and off the roads. That is some good advice because people here do not know how to drive in the snow and tend to panic, causing accidents.

Shano22 · February 11th, 2010, 10:01 PM

Officially sick of snow. 23 inches where i live in Pa. Im tempted to put studded tire on the ninja and do some ridin

Hey matt. This is John. I rode with you once back then when I was in dallas. I'm in Houston now and no snow...just rained yesterday about 45f lowest. It's amazing a 4 hrs drive south can do.
I do miss Dallas job market though. Jobs on Houston sucks.

Some of the "experts" are claiming that this strange weather is further proof of "global warming". I don't think anyone realy knows.

Apex · February 12th, 2010, 03:25 PM

My wife and I were just talking about how we are ready for warmer weather.

I can't wait so I can put some SERIOUS mileage on the little ninja.

Flow · February 12th, 2010, 07:49 PM

Oh my. It actually snowed in south Alabama. The rain killed it within an hour, so it wasn't a big deal, but it was surprising.

We're having a pretty mild winter here in Atlantic Canada compared to the last 2. And we had real nasty winters here usually.

These pictures show our Jeeps and street, prior to clearing out the driveway.

sprale · February 13th, 2010, 02:00 PM

Dallas is interesting enough to drive through in the wet, throw in some snow or ice and it's hilarious, as long as you don't have to be anywhere near the idiots. That's the reason I moved to central Texas, no snow. There was a chance of snow a few years ago, so of course I rode to work. I was the only one on the rode, it was so strange. I guess it's a good thing, shutting down a city where no one knows how to deal with it, even if it's just a chance...

lockie · February 13th, 2010, 03:11 PM

We're having the mildest winter here in Labrador for decades. We're breaking records for warm days and rainfall. Got 55 cm of snow this week. Looked like good skiing at last. Most of it is gone now in rain and thawing temperature. I may have to go south for a good ski.

ninja250 · February 27th, 2010, 02:03 PM

Ok as much as we need the rain..
Right about NOW I'm getting annoyed with winter.

adouglas · February 27th, 2010, 02:18 PM

Rain, schmain. This is what it looks like around here.
