Aaah, not today....
« on: February 06, 2020, 01:36:04 PM »
I can do 31°F and damp roads, no worries - but high temp is supposed to be 32° for the day and overnight drizzle left 1/8th inch of ice on the world.
Don't really want to venture out - the scooter tires have what size contact patch? About an Oreo up front, and 1.75 cookies at the rear?
(when cornering, or stopping, hard - I like to remember my cookie sized contact between me, and Mother Earth - and act accordingly )
Don't really want to face dismounting and walking the scoot across the I-70 overpass, and other under-road culverts!

And, I'm feeling a little peculiar.

The difference between wisdom and foolhardiness.  Right there.

And finally, my turn to make you jealous Stig.  Blue sky, sunshine, dry roads and about 45F here, see you when I get back from my ride. ;)

I like to think had it been those temperatures, but 2" of snow then he'd have been out showing us the way!!
