Snowtorcycling and Camping or WTF was he thinking...

The roads leading west into New Hampshire were slick last Friday morning. The leading edge of the snowstorm the TV weather folks were calling the impending “Snowpocalypse” or “Deathstorm ’13″ in their typically understated fashion, was already dumping snow on me. I was astride my Russian-made Ural sidecar rig headed from Portland to Fryeburg. It was cold. My breath was freezing on the inside of my helmet shield, making it tough to see. Each time I passed a truck, whiteout conditions ensued for a few moments in the billowing powder. I was careening toward the state line to meet up with three other three-wheeled cyclists. We were going camping.

That’s right: camping.

To be fair, we planned the trip last fall when no one knew the biggest storm in years was on its way. We’re a loose-knit group who hang out online at the Soviet Steeds collective and, as of the middle of last week, we had upwards of a dozen fellow sidecar riders committed to the New Hampshire trip. But, one-by-one, they dropped out as the sounds of panic began to emanate from sweater-wearing forecasters on the tube. By Thursday night, only four were left: myself, Thermos, Keith and Mike.

We decided to go anyway......

Heck I'm proud to be a hotel, cabin, lodge guy, tents are for kids...

After a long days ride this is all I want a good motel and soft pillow.

You won't believe this but I used to camp in one of these. Hunted out of a teepee, wear buckskins, cook in a old black kettle and carry a flintlock rifle. Times change

yes looks like fun or something I would have done 25-30 years ago , I use to just sleep on the tables in rest areas , put the sleeping bag on & climb in , Now in my 60's HOTEL here I come
fatbot that looks like a pic out of Houston as well

That's why I don't do it anymore cause I'm 25-30 older. Amazing the things we could do when we were younger.

LOL yea I know what your saying , I was talking to one of my younger brothers today via phone & he brought up our ages & said he was supprised I made it this far cause the way I partied & rode , he told me they all said I was going to live long like that & here I em in better health then most of them older or younger

Well I had a good time for twenty years doing the Buckskin stuff with my dad, fond memories

Our HOG chapter is going on a camping trip on Labor Day weekend at a place called Dodge Park on the Sandy River and we are going for the BBQ. Can't get the wife to go camping, I may take the motorcycle tent trailer up there and she can come up for the day. There is great trout and. Salmon fishing there Fatboy.
It's only about 10 miles from home so she can come and go if she wants.

WOW flht that's looks like a nice place to cool the beer & set on the edge &then spend the night up by the fire

Yea and it's like 10 miles from my place. We have some very excellent roads to ride here.
