I woke up this morning thinking about riding, which just ain't going to happen today.  Dug through some of the videos from the last couple of years and thought I'd share one.  Watching them helps me get through the winter - it's going to be a long one...
This is a clip of a ride this past Sept.  Met up with my brother and his buddy in NE PA and headed down through WVA and VA for four days of riding bliss.  Gotta love them roads down there.
Hope you enjoy.

Hey Canuck I hear you about winter. It's knocking on our door too."Forgot" to work yesterday afternoon and got over 3 hours of frozen smile riding in around Southern Ontario.Ended up on the north shore of Lake Erie,at a fishing village called Pt Stanley. Great beach in the summer. Smile still on .

Nice pics Chrome.

Here's a video of some of your (ours) crazy brothers who can't wait for spring.  3000km in the snow! Think I'd rather trailer my bike to FLA for some winter relief.

I read their youtube info, they used tire studs from Aerostitch.

There's no-way to do that without 'em.

Nice pics Adrian.  I have to make a trip down that way sometime.

Canuck, I would have to say that those guys are nuts.  I would not go out on the sled in -30°c weather in a snow storm let alone a bike.  Traveling 3000km in cold weather like that is.......WACKED!!!  I would rather spend the week in Cuba or somewhere else WARM!!!!

Not for me either, but would be fun to say I did.

That actually sounds like fun.  I wouldn't do it with the Valk, but something lighter and equip for the conditions.

Before my Valk. Had an XR650. used to ride year round. studs went in the first weekend of dec. and came out usually the first weekend of Mar.  Was working midnites at the steelmill at the FD there. Had to pull the bike into the station so the damn thing would start in the morning. the studs would tear the hell out of the bay floor and then the LT. would throw a bitch... Evil
