Season Finale!

[EnjoyingTheRyde]

We're having work done on the shop this weekend, our nephews are framing an upstairs playroom for us, so the Spyders had to stay outside last night. We had our first dusting of snow so they have a nice white coating this morning, no big deal. To my surprise, as I headed to work, the roads have been salted so it looks like I may have missed my Grand Finale Ride!

That is the beauty of where I live . . . it rains more than it snows in the winter . . . so the salt gets washed away, regularly, through the winter!

Only thing we salt down here is food.

both having missed a good final ryde and having to put the ryde into hybernation. Hope the season is short and mild but you should end up with a great playroom...!! :2thumbs:

Surely SOMONE makes a snow tire that would fit the Spyder, perhaps even with provisions to install studs?!? I'd stay away from chains, though.

Ice covered my road last night, so also means that I have to park the :spyder2:'s for the big sleep. It was a great rydeing season though. :thumbup:

There have been a couple who went for the snow tires and studs. My dealer was one, and that was short lived. The owners manual recommends no rydeing in the snow. Once past that, if I had a tire that would allow me to operate in those conditions, I would be very afraid of the "other guys". Ever tried dodging a large SUV that was out of control on the ice? It is common occurance to see these big SUV's upside down in the ditch on a regular basis here in Alaska. The :spyder2: does not offer a lot of protection in these situations. That's just my humble opinion, and I do not criticize those who choose to do their own rydes.

Not moving anywhere so it is what it is. Time to park 'em and pull out the other BRP products!

I'm not, really, I'm NOT jealous! ;) I have a brother-in-law that goes to Arizona every winter and he's been trying to get us to visit. Might have to think about it a little more but I really do enjoy snow!

The worst part of living here is listening to lame jokes about California. The best part of living here is, well, everything else.

This is why I live in Florida...
