Where is everyone #5

I had a instructor at Northwestern that rode every day except if heavy Ice. Snow and all. Had a 11 year old Honda civic for a car with like 12,000 miles if that tells you anything. I used to ride in the mid 30° and no salt on the road. Gave that up, and more of a fare weather guy nowadays

 

Yea If you have to have heated mirrors on your scooter, I tip my hat quietly. You a BMF!

 

@Slowpoke KW pretty well covered it. When I get uncomfortable with road, visibility or other drivers inability then I park it. Fog is the thing I hate the most and will stop much sooner than icy conditions.

 

That's way too clumsy on a bike. You kids nowadays. Wanting 3 wheelers then keep thinking more is better. Just go get a car. Are you nuts ?

 

And I should add, on permitted loads, I stop when the permit says it's too bad (or sooner)

 

Old picture time. About 2009 sunrise. 97 Pete 500 N14 and 30 ton slider. One of the best Tow trucks I ever drove. Not much for recovery but it was a 100 mph plus truck.

 

Lifting a 50k coil from the shoulder off the corner. That was the 80 ton Sliding Rotator.

 

That was a chevy blazer under the front of the tractor.

 

^^^^^^^ That^^^^^^ use to love driving in the snow when there was less idiots out there. The weather doesn't bother me.....its everyone around me !

 

Was not on time this time. Hauling the brass rings around the bottom of a military shell. Not sure caliber but about 4inch diameter. They wanted everyone accounted for. Sung "one piece at a time the whole job.
