    We do get snow here, but not every winter. The pic I posted was last winter. There are some days during winter when it's possible to ride, if ya don't mind shivvering yer butt off. But most of the time it's too cold. I don't know how you stand those Minnesota winters!

    Hey Josh, they are MN folks who know what cold is. Riding in the winter is a piece of cake for those hearty souls.

    This past winter we had about a month stretch that hung at about -40* Now that is cold. This spring I started riding when it was about 30* in the morning then when I got done with work it may have been about 45*.

    That question was for Hotroadking, since he only sees snow on TV.

    Alex, we been getting a lot of that in northeastern N.C. lately. Only time to be out is early in the morning or late evening. That kind of weather just sucks the life out of everything around here. Some people have a hard time just breathing . . .
    I have two fans going in my shop and I still sweat into my glasses.

    All you can do in that kind of weather is go sit in the bathtub and wait for November.

    Not snow. Sept, Oct, and November are the best months here for riding. I would imagine the same for NC.

    A lot of the time we get like 95* days with 70% humidity, that can get a little uncomfortable, but then it goes to the other extreme as well....:gah:
