You should move to the sunny South.

[tibadoe]

Started snowing this morning around 4:30 am. Still coming down.

[Peter Aawen]

That'll add a whole new dimension to your Spyder Ryding!

Some people get all the luck!

Missed us here on the cumberland Platuae (Crossville TN area) just rain, too cold for the wife to ride and she does not even let me touch the key without here

I would get that Spyder under some cover if it was mine.

[CarolinaSpyderRyder]

Yeah, I probably should have put the cover on last night.

[Chupaca]

Beautiful sight but at the same time as ryding becomes less possible. Hope your set up for the winter sports in your area....We are here just have to add a warmer jacket....

Talked with my brother in NW Arkansas yesterday. He said 30 above and they got a foot of snow just South of them.

Here in Alaska, we had 38 degrees and rain. Got a little snow--less than an inch last night.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm. Do I really want to move South?

do they make studded snow tires for spyders

[CarolinaSpyderRyder]

Snow tires is actually an interesting idea.

[ARtraveler]

Snow tires is actually an interesting idea.

A couple things to consider: The two front wheels act like a snow plow. The rear wheel spins out very easy on ice/snow.

If you find you can go, you may not be able to stop. I wont put myself or my spyder in undo peril. Those bigger out of control vehicles are the ones I am afraid of.

Early on (2008) one of the dealers here had some made special. He used them for one 20 mile round trip from home to work. Winter driving on snow and ice was not for him.

I tried mine in my driveway (no snow tires) and got stuck in three inches of snow. Had to get pushed out. I park em in ice and snow. I am one of the last to park and one of the first to ride when the snow/ice goes away.

The manual does state not to ride in snow. But...that is CYA for BRP I am guessing.

Just my .02.

Fyi from the south .....(maybe mid south for some) rain , cold rain, & yesterday heavy mist that should be rain, roads just as wet but no pooling. & sill cold so when your walking under an awning to enter somewhere there is a laser guided COLD drop of water that will: 1: hit your square in forehead, 2: hit perfectly between your collar & trail down your spine. Those wearing glasses : you already know the joys from fog, drops, mist, cumbersome gloves & all that
Today is looking little better so far.




Thankfully I only know the glasses info from being only 1 in family to not need them, even after injury THANK YOU LORD!

Been deeper than that for over a week here. Get the sleds out!
It makes the good riding days even more special, right?

[SPECTACUALR SPIDERMAN]

No snow in here, just lots of cold

[grumpyoldretiredcop]

We got a little here in the Carson Valley too... wanted to take the F3 out but my driveway is a wonderful mix of gravel and ice. I did get a little ride in just after the last storm, once most of the snow was melted off the street. I was surprised at how much warmer it was to ride the F3 as opposed to my Victory Cross Country - it was 35 degrees and I never turned on the heated jacket liner.

Now, who makes sand (snow) paddles for the Spyder... hmm?

[Haze]

Here in Carson City, I look out the door of the garage and hope for a clear weekend.
I need to get one more ride before year end. So far work and honey do has kept me off the bike.
Maybe this weekend I can bundle up and ryde. Will give my heated gear a test.
Finger crossed.

Bike has been parked since September .The wife and i went for a 45 km sled ride yesterday ,just barely enough snow.

[almosthere]

Only 3 miles to work, so I ride if the roads are clear even if it was only 8 degrees .

[tibadoe]

Ended up with 15" snow. Looks like it might stick around for a little bit.

[starrider60]

I live in the deep south. Right now I'm waiting for the ice to melt on my Spyder so I can ride to Florida with full winter gear. Yes, you can ride all year long. If you got the right gear.

So far it looks good through Saturday... I have a company Xmas party to go to on Saturday, so I'm going to try to get in a ride Thursday or Friday. Heck, Friday the high is supposed to be in the 50's, no heated gear needed!!

[RapidSpyder]

Went for a short ride Sunday after church, just to get my Dec ride in. 43 degrees and no wind. Wasn’t too bad but not as enjoyable.

[grumpyoldretiredcop]

Went home for lunch yesterday, rode the F3 back to work. There wasn't time to get cold on the short ride back home afterwards... and it was worth it to see the look on people's faces!
