I would assume that at least the residents of Alaska know how to drive in winter conditions.

Not if you figure that a lot of those residents, came from someplace else! :yikes:

As Bob said, most are from out of town.

Most can be heard singing the anthem--"I am invincible, I have a four wheel drive." :roflblack::roflblack:

They forget you can go, but you can't stop at 70 mph and on ice. One person makes a mistake and it's trouble time.

You see why I do not ride my :spyder2: in conditions like this--regardless of studded tires.

We drove up the East Coast back in December of 1992; we had the "Grand-Poobah", of all ice storms going on... :shocked:
Maryland and Virginia were almost laughable... I watched a car come down off of an entrance ramp sideways, and get pushed down the road, by another fool in a pickup truck that was doing about 65 mph...
He pushed the guy right out of sight... :yikes:

:D Are you kidding?? They'd be more fun than a barrel-full of drunk monkeys! :roflblack:
:shocked: But only from a safe distance... :shocked:

Winter arrived in Las Vegas yesterday also. Rainy and cold. Yuck. But I did ride today and will ride again tomorrow.

Two years ago, when we met up, we experienced some of that Vegas winter. It was cold and we ran into snow in the high areas. Zion was beautiful with her winter coat on.

We are hoping for 50+ when you folks arrive in June. :roflblack:
