rstacy Posted February 18, 2012 Share #1 Posted February 18, 2012 My friend's desire to ride sometimes outweighs his common sense. We always argue over who has the best weather source. My weather man predicted this. His called for no precip. At least he made it home safely. http://www.raymondstacy.com/davebike.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On this last one I was MOST CERTAINLY awake when I got home! Really stupid; should have moteled in Delta. it was all a matter of the Good Lord's Luck! Never enjoyed covering up my 1st 86 VR that night: Jack Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said that his windshield and face shield kept getting blocked by snow. Jeff, you probably know him. He is a big rum ball fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyinfool Posted February 18, 2012 Share #7 Posted February 18, 2012 I was planning on corrupting/introducing this bunch to my world famous IRCHA class rum balls at some MDs this summer. They just seem to work so well on a Friday night. Maybe need to bring a night ship to complete the experience............ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dacheedah Posted February 18, 2012 Share #8 Posted February 18, 2012 I use my garage roof as a guide because its partially shaded, if I see frost its a no go no matter how nice out. I also expect the worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brake Pad Posted February 18, 2012 Share #9 Posted February 18, 2012 When I lived up north, I owned two bikes, a Honda CB 750 K, and a Yamaha 250, that made into a snow bike, nobbies and all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alwrmcusn Posted February 18, 2012 Share #12 Posted February 18, 2012 Sometime circa 1966/67 while stationed in Londonderry, N. Ireland I rode a 650 Matchless G12 CSR from the Navy base down to the town, out the Prehan road to New buildings, left at New Buildings and on to Tagherena where my girlfriend (now wife) lived. From the townsite at Craigavon Bridge out to New Buildings and on to Taherena. I made the first set of tracks! For the the area it was a major snowfall. It was about 4-6 inches. I almost froze my keester off, my fingers have yet to warm up, my ears still tingle if I flick them, but...it was worth it that evening!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rstacy Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share #13 Posted February 18, 2012 (edited) Maybe need to bring a night ship to complete the experience............ Speaking of night ships, I will derail my own thread here. My son and I were at the Efest in Champaign last week. Here is his winning flight with lights. The landing rocked!

Flyinfool Posted February 18, 2012 Share #14 Posted February 18, 2012 Oh to be young with reflexes and hand - eye coordination again........... Great flight, I'll never be good enough to half of that stuff. I'll just continue to dull everyone's senses with rum so that my flying looks good.
