    Youd think these guys would know when to stop. Apparently not

    Good thing Mike has those long legs...

    These were taken up by Mt Thorodin.  Wanna park, but you're too lazy to put the side stand down? Just cram it in a snow bank and leave it. Mike and Kenny are in the process of parking.

    These guys were never short of play time. Once again, Mike's extra long legs save the day. Well, almost.

    Taco thanks for the great pics brother. I remember doing stuff like the pics show, but it sure as hell wasn't on a big ol Harley. I had suspension too, and it was still pretty tough.

    Great Pics Taco!

    BTW  - If ya haven't slid around in the snow on a bike, you don't know what your missing...it's a blast!

    I used to ride all year long (still do) when I lived in NY - judging distance is a whole new adventure and skillset, we even ran them across the lake out on Long Island

    Imagine what this guy would think if he was around today and saw a bike that runs perfectly well being towed to its destination on a trailer in the middle of the summer...

    These were the days before you needed a HD jacket,wallet, helmet,shirt,boots,googles,watch, and had just spent 2 hours polishing all of your chrome b4 the ride.
