It was just alright I guess?. Done way crazier myself and booze has a funny way of producing these videos.

So he's on an old disposable bike, boots/feet acting as training wheels, not doing all that much speed. If he slides out, it's more slip n slide than damage to both him and the old bike. I've had snowmobile incidents 10 fold of that, I'm not disposing the level of liquid courage I had in me eitha!

'Fitter can do much better, and, as of this writing, he may have much more snow

Wife and I rode the Pioneer Scenic Byway of southwest Montana Oct. 31 (Halloween). At the top we encountered about a mile of hard-packed snow and ice, slightly rutted, with some patches of bare, pavement. I was very nervous, she was nervous enough to get off and hoof it. Said she didn't want to be under the bike if it fell down. A sensible woman. Besides, I didn't need to deal with the extra weight. The PR4 stuck good enough, while my 58-year-old legs were mostly token outriggers. If bike had gone significantly sideways, she'd have gone down. I could not have picked up the beast - feet slipping, bike sliding sideways if I'd tried. I'm still wondering what I would have done. Clutch/throttle/brake interaction becomes delicate and critical. Nope, no donuts or intentional slides for us! Give me slushy stuff any day!

 
I am just as crazy. I bought a brand new 1993 Harley Heritage in '93 and my aging father in Boise, Idaho wanted to see it. This was in early April and the morning I left it was raining hard. Before I got to the Santiam pass on highway 126 it started snowing. I was riding in 4 inches of snow over the pass and had snow almost to Sisters,OR on the downside. My hands were so cold that I couldn't hardly work the clutch. The rest of the trip was only hampered by a few showers and strong winds. Dad loved the Harley.

 
Hey Hudson, show how that fancy, well-farlked KTM does in snow!

Please shoot in Hi-Def video please.
