Anyone else sick of this crappy, snowy, super cold Canadian winter. I was riding by this time last year and now it looks like at least a month before the roads will be bike worthy. I was in L.A. two weeks ago and had bike envy the whole time!! I did pick up some great stuff for the SV, but alas I wait.
I Hate Snow!!

zrider, take comfort in the fact that we in ontario have it worse. more snow, and a longer colder winter. and you have some of the most beautiful riding routes in bc to enjoy once it does get warm.

I'll second that. That's why I'm leaving Wed to get out of the Tundra for a few days.

The only reason that I am not currently hating the snow is because I am waiting for parts to get to my house. Currently I have nowhere to mount a license plate... however, if it is warm this week I am gonna drill a hole through what's left of my fender (tried the DIY fender elim. and don't like it) and hang the license plate bracket with a coat hanger...

I feel your pain... but I think over here its worst, there is a new law ( I think its only in Quebec and Ontario that there is this law) its Illegal to ride unless you have snow tire, but there is no tire that are considered ''snow tires'' so its illegal to ride from october 15th to march 15th. I've seen a few nice days recently, but I cant take her out

you'll have to get a scooter for winter
Anyone want to go for a quick burn near UBC this Saturday? I'm in Van for Fri night and Satuday til 3 in the aft. I'll try to take a demo out from British Italian Motorcycles and go for a quick "test drive" It would be nice to get out and ride!! At least two more weeks to a month before I can ride here!!

Yeah the snow this year has been really shiddy.... normally in Calgary we get some crappy weather, but then the chinooks come and melt all the crap and then it gets cold again... but it doesn't snow all that much.... so I can ride.. who cares if it is cold... as long as the roads arent full of ice and snow...
This year I managed to get a few days in here and there each month... but it is really sucking, every time it looks like it is going to get nice again, all of a sudden a -20c blast comes in with a tonn of snow
the last couple winters have really been a kick in the choad
ah well as soon as I win the lottery I am moving to some tropical paradise
