I would imagine those things are a blast. I've never ridden one, but I'd love to. Thanks for the pics, I like them. If you get out on it takes some adventure pics too. I don't enjoy snow, but the photos are fun.

I believe that's known as sacrificing oneself at the alter of cool.

I always love it when a neophyte uses absolutes when considering suggestions on riding and equipment.

And there are ways to "look cool" while improving comfort -

All that aside, had a nice day with Cheryl just kicking around town and buying things for the upstairs bathroom at IKEA. Even had lunch there - Swedish meatballs. Not at all bad.

Oh and it's 100% shitty out - snow, sleet, rain, and holiday shoppers - the perfect storm.
