This is the closest I've come to the bike on ice thing.
I had spring fever and wondered what 17 degrees would feel like. Man I miss that Bonneville.
yea I wouldn't even ride on the stuff at the beginning of that video.
That's the thing though, like in the video, once you get out to the main cleared roads it's all good. I have that issue in my neighborhood, a private road we pay someone to clear. They clear it good enough for cars to get out, but it may be days after a big snow for me to feel safe riding my motorcycles out to the main roads on it with patches of snow and ice here and there. If my tires can make it to the asphalt I'm good, but riding across accumulated snow and ice ... I'll pass thank you.
The pic above is where I got caught out and was trying to get home, the last 5 miles of a 40 mile ride....and I must admit it was nerve wracking. Praying that I wouldn't go down. I wouldn't head out into that.
