You mean I've been improperly driving in the snow all year? Damn! Next you'll tell me that due to the lack of doors and a top Harley's aren't made to be ridden in the winter. I'll probably have to stop doing that as well - and I was so enjoying myself...

LOL yeah BruceLee means that you'll be a Porsche plow on unscraped roads. Man, doesn't Denver measure their snowstorms in feet??

Had my harley out yesterday. It certainly clears the mind.

Yes, exactly what I mean. Once the snow gets to say, 7 inches or so, one would expect you to simply wedge up on the snow and stay stuck. Unless of course, your car can move while its wheels are in the air.

Best of luck with that!

But with snow tires, the car can be used pretty much through the winter except on the actual snow days. I bet they are pretty good at clearing the roads in Denver. In the Boston area they are pretty good too although after nor'easters it takes a while to really clean up, especially the "berms" that are sometimes a foot high.

You boys and girls in CA got it good.
