mansfield, MA United States | I have had cars ride up on me in snow storms. It's not fun when you're trying to keep the bike up and some nut is in a hurry! The Vision is amazing in the snow. Idiot! Mabe! The world would be boring without idiots lol

New Bohemia, VA | Fred, that's me in the video as probably already know. Amazingly my only fear was that someone would slide into me. When no one was around me in the 9 mile trek through NC during a snow storm the Vision was rock solid.
Not that I'm looking for another storm, it was cool to have the challenge. I've not rode much in the past 3 weeks or so primarly because of the ice patches, but more so the ice + cagers. Plus we have a surplus of sand on the roads as well as the chemicals have not fully been washed off. That junk is more dangerous than riding in the snow. |

| I live on the Gulf coast. The dry sand on the roads is like ice. |

mansfield, MA United States | I agree. The sand is what gets me from time to time. I really slow down on blind corners. Buy I find if I'm doing the posted speed I'm ok. Now when the sun is out and the roads are clear all bets are off! I like to hit the corners like everyone else but this time of year it's just too dangerous. I am shore you know this but I get a lot of looks riding when the tempter is in the single digits or when the roads have ice and slush all over them.
