Just thought this would be a cool new topic. If there is already one in existence please let me know so I can delete this one, or a mod can do it. As for me I finished my under tail project and rode the crap out of it.

Sport tires + sand + salt + single digit temps for weeks at a time so the ice chunks never melt off the side roads = not a good time to ride in WI. Winter sucks. :(

I could ride on the highways and major roads through town right now, but I'd never make it out of my neighborhood to get to them. Bleh.

Oh yeah, back on topic. I sat on it this morning on my way out the door. It was magical. And the seat was cold through my slacks.

Cool! This thread turned into an e-dick measuring contest! I've got 3 inches hard!

Day after Christmas, about 20F and snowing. The snow started sticking to the roads way faster than I had thought. I rode the last few miles home at about 10mph with the ass end all over the place, and I didn't dare touch the front brakes. Made it home without dropping it... Somehow (definitely luck, not skill).

I'm OK.

My riding buddy (Ed) and I were riding to Dahlonega, Ga. to have a valve stem replace on his
Moto Guzzi today.
We left about 8:30 and got down the road to Tellico Plains, Tn. where we stopped for a bathroom break and Ed could put on his rain pants.
The light rain had started about 15 miles back up the road.
As you leave Tellico, the roads gains in elevation and gets curvy.
Well about three miles up the road I start into a left hand curve and the back end tries to pass me.
I was just along for the ride then and wound up going down on the right side.
Ed stopped behind me, and a man came out of his house which has a driveway on the right, in the curve.
The first thing the local said was " I heard you crash, I have been trying to get the highway department to do something about that curve cause it is always slick."

The only damage to me was landing on my phone in my right pocket and a small bang on my right elbow.
I am ATGATT.
