If one must ride the bad roads.. I guess you do.

Does it make any sense... ? IMO.. no.. by miles. NOT if one owns the four wheels.........

Why? Saw a dude last winter.. do down and w/o the very alert and albeit very SKILLED driving of the
four wheeler.. he'd have been TOAST. I mean.. run the * over. Biker was just surprised by some ice hidden under a lite snow covering.

LOVE the cold season riding.. but I want to continue it for YEARS. The risks involved with riding roads with cars and POSSIBLE falls due to less than tractable roads simply.. IMO respectfully.. make NO sense. At all.

The dude.. should really be DEAD. Woman driver too.. quick thinking and reaction time. He was lucky.. very.

NOT meaning to whiz on one's choice of conditions.. just.. remember.. is can be *-ing dangerous.
