Careful on your drive this Morning!

I keep a waterproof pullover and fleece in the trunk year round.. you never know in this state.

In the winter, there is a compact shovel.. and washer fluid.

Folks think I'm crazy because of the stuff in back of the seat in my truck BUT if I should happen to get stuck in traffic for 8 hours (like we've seen this year ). Guess who's going to be alright ?

I slept in my car for nearly two hours, in an open parking lot, without the engine on, during the first very cold snap we had last week. 1 parka and 1 small, pink, baby blankey, folded in half, on my legs.

Yesterday, after getting off of a call with a woman who's RWD Jeep Liberty was stuck in the middle of her cul-de-sac, she thought that I had hung up and I clearly heard her say, "Fuck Colorado! I'm so fucking out of here." I laughed and disconnected before I heard any more grumbling.

I almost crashed yesterday. After a crappy drive home, I decided to run over to Home Depot to pick up a couple of sandbags for my trunk. Coming up to a stoplight, touch brakes, start sliding. Traffic going through stoplight, so I thought "ok, i can either hit these cars, or try to crash in to the snowbank."

Cranked my wheel hard and gave her some gas and drove right in to the snow bank. Worked like a charm with no damage to the car, and I was only stuck for a minute.

My wife just called and said she slide through a light and hit some dude.

That really sucks! Glad to hear everyone was ok. Contest the ticket! Kirsten did that in Jefferson county and was sent to a class for $60 and no points... oh dont tell her I ever told you this either. Her driving record is a sensitive matter

Isn't it amazing how you can quickly do all kinds of acrobatic maneuvers in an instant of panic, yet you can't do something as simple as stop? I slid into an intersection this morning as well.

Boring guide on motorcycle chains follows, people not interested skip this post!

You didn't know they had such a think because they don't. But here is what you do:

I can supply some pictures later, probably after the weekend. Lets see if I can get high centered on snow on Sunday

Thanks for the info Fox. Very interesting. He is running a V-Strom 650 this time of year and although the tires he's running will work, now that I think of it, the front fender on that bike wouldn't allow chains. Don't know why they put a front fender like that on a dual purpose bike, it just gets F'd up in the dirt.

Our snow will be gone in a few days so we can all go back to driving like crazies on dry roads.

very cool info.

gotta respect those all weather riders.

coming back from school today, not a lick of snow on the street and still idiocy abounds.
