Took the bike for a spin in the snow today, and new beater

Cold and wet today, slippery as hell but man I had a blast on the bike today. Now its covered in salt though, boooo

Wayyy too cold for this guy.

**** mang, it was up to 24 today!

is that the salt dried from the road (don't know b/c i live down south)

nope thats how we get rid of snow and ice in IL and WI

nice

my mother used to own a car exactly like that same wheels and color. comfortable as **** and had some decent power with the 3.8L does it have leather?

well i ask that b/c when i take my jetski in salt water and some gets in the hull... it dries white like that b/c of the salt.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's the salt. Same thing happens on my car during the winters.

eh im pretty sure that doesnt have a 3.8. its gonna be either an 'iron duke' 4 banger (2.5 i believe?), 3.1 or 3.3

the majority of the engines listed right there are likely to give you hell

hey all those engines are great!

Its a 3.8, and yes the white crap is salt residue

Sweet, what does the rear fender say?

Why is everything white?

[insert random crude joke]

I had fun kicking that car at Champps :D

Marek and I were talking about how we want to stick studs in our tires and go riding. lol

im shocked. didnt believe they put a 3.8 in a car that small.

Yah right, like you would go riding with the temperature below 60

Are you kidding? I went out with my friend Nick numerous times last winter when it was below 40. We went out at like 1 AM once in 25 degree weather.

But yeah, normally I wait for it to be at least 40 to go out =P

i saw 2 guys out riding the other day....crazy fokers. lol ill sit my happy ass in my cage during this weather.

my limit is 30 deg...anything lower and it sits in the garage

Cold I'm OK with - I rode all year, even winters, in Chicago for six years. But SNOW on the road? No effing way. Chi-town's good abut keeping the road surfaces clear for 11 out of 12 months of the year, mostly. You're certifiably nuts, Pork.

PS - I haven't seen cafe grips that raked in years... Ah, what memories.

^ their just those *** clubman bars flipped upsidedown

Yeah I know... we used to do that too, back in the day. Or fabricate them... I had a nice little side biz in art school when I had access to a full metal shop.

sounds like you had fun.

You going to actually register that thing, or sell it?

The olds is titled and plated and all that jazz now, just need to do the silver bike and the yellow bike and I'll be caught up

that cars really not that small. theres plenty of room in there.

how exactly did you ride that bike in the snow without tiping it over?

Raw skill.

That and, you know, not leaning. Like, at ALL.

Definitely avoid using any kind of throttle in a turn too

I just noticed that you don't have any kind of cushion on your bike Eric. Your ass that padded?

He's hardcore. It's actually nowhere near as uncomfy as it looks. The annoying thing is his lack of suspension

that and thermal jacket....lol eh ill stick to my 30 deg rule. thats what i have cars for

The main roads weren't near as bad, the side roads are tough. Both feet down with my spike strip boots, cant go much faster then 20 and thats if I feel like diein

Atleast you guys get salt for the roads. Where I live they cover the roads with dirt on top of the snow. Then it just turns into muddy slush.

I'd rather get dirt, dirt doesn't make your car get hole-y

up at my lakehouse in PA they use ash for the roads because salt attracts the deer to come lick the roads.

they just switched to salt on the roads here. it hasnt even snowed yet and the roads are covered in the ****.


i liked the sand. good traction and it didnt rot your car out. just made a nasty brown lookng ice ground effects kit behind each wheel
