Gaa, I was thinking that in a few months I will have had my motorcycle licence for 50 years.
My first real bike, a 100 Kawasaki, I would ride it all year around as it was my only transportation. Sketchy riding it on the road in snow.
My big Yamaha I would ride it in the north country when it warmed up to -20. Just warm the cylinder with a propane torch and it would fire right up.
Not too bad if you could get it on top of the crust of the snow other than that it was terrible, definitely sled(snow mobile)country.
Now I won't ride my gas bike if there is a hint of rain.
