I thought it was funny that he didn't ride after our recent snow, nor does he ride when it rains. I love pointing out that his really tough, 40-something hp, "imitation Harley" is grounded by rain and an inch or two of snow whereas my bike with all of .25 hp easily negotiated the "treacherous" conditions and kept me rolling to and from work. The sad thing is that I don't think any of it sinks in.
Not defending him but there is no way I'd ever ride a motorcycle in the snow. That would be downright treacherous on a motorcycle with street tires.

I do own a motorcycle and I grew up driving cars in the snow...lest anyone simply dismiss my post because I currently live in sunny San Diego.
