By the looks of that little old Suzuki, it may be his only ride. At least he wears a full face helmet. **** I grew up in Massachusetts and rode in all types of weather.

 

Swap the Suzuki for a 125cc 2 stroke "Harley" Rapido and that was me 40 years ago.

 

I've ridden in the snow on a few occasions. As long as you let the bike go mostly where it wants, it's not too terrible. I don't intentionally go far distances in the snow, but to work and back (10k round) I make exceptions.

 

this why I own a truck and can afford to park the SG in the winter.

 

I live in central PA. We can get a lot of snow and ice throughout the Winter. I have a good friend who ride his bike year round to work every day. 40mi round trip. Now, he riding a Kaw KLR650, but...

 

If my bike was my only means of transportation and I absolutely had to go somewhere during a snowstorm I would do it. Luckily, it never snows where I live and I have other vehicles at my disposal besides my bike.

 

1969 in Nebraska: young, dumb and broke ! Had both tires studded and rode all winter. Won't say I didn't fall down a few times, but it didn't hurt as much back then ! When that's all ya got, you ride !

 

i've left for work some days in the sunshine and it snowed during the day , but i sure wouldn't ride in the snow and ice on purpose . i don't love taking the bus , but it's the best thing in the winter and i don't even have to worry about how stupid the car drivers are.

 

I have ridden in ice and snow both on-road and off-road on dual sport bikes like my BMW R1200GS or more dirt oriented bikes. I guess that's part of the adventure.

I have ridden a few times in slush, snow or icy conditions on a HD softail and other makes/models of street bikes. Most of the street bike situations were just bad route planning, rapidly changing weather or limited options. It's not something I would intentionally plan on doing.

 

I say he trailered it to the plaza next door and rode it 100' to Dunkin'...
