Just go to the darkside and run snow tires. They'll help with the James Bay mud too.

Who's still riding? Fall & Winter 2022 (& 2023!) edition!

Don't tempt me with a good time.
Like I've said previously, far too many pictures in my past history of my car completely buried in April.
I'm not holding my breath.
I think you should suspend yourself from GTAM for a month for having uttered this.
Is this PA?? We've been to Punxsutawny and saw the FRP gophers but didn't make to the actual lair.I visited Phil last September. He wasn't on duty so I left him a note on a piece of paper. Asking for a short winter and a hot spring.
Maybe the note got blown away by the wind and he didn't get to read it. (I think I may have addressed it to the "Dumb Rat". Maybe he got offended)

I've already played Garage Tetris to get the sled out, and then again to stuff it back against the wall to free up two wheelers. (haven't even fired it this year) Gonna need a real big dump to make me drag it out again.
Yes.
You mean these buggers?
They are everywhere throughout town. Only managed to get a pic with this one near the Punxsutawney Weather Discovery Center.
Hey what's that seat pad you got?
Looks like an Airhawk to me.
If you can get the early original models they were good. Unfortunatley like all good things, when they got big they cheaped out on production and switched from a nice supple material to cheaper less supple material for the actual air bits inside it. If you want the equivalent of an early-model Airhawk, look at the Wild Ass pads instead - built like airhawks used to be built.

Looks to me like the spreading of salt yesterday was at triple the amount as normal. Roads and sidewalks are like gravel. That time of the year to get rid of unused salt stock. Your tax dollars at work.
I've noticed over the years that the town pays to have someone drive a snow plow on every single sidewalk in town every day regardless if any snow has fallen. Here, your job is to take this machine for a tour of Alliston every day. Enjoy.
Sound good. Where do I sign up?
Seriously though, if something ever happened with my current employer (where I've been for coming up on 25 years) I'm going to seriously look into the snow removal gig. Brutal hours when there's a snow event, but the rest of the time you just collect standby pay, and get laid off over the summer and can collect EI...which would be pretty awesome for riding season.
A guy like me with ~30 years experience in heavy equipment and a clean record are in high demand, I'd not have any trouble finding the kind of work I want.
Airhawks also have a habit of totally disconnecting you from the bike, and removing all feedback
Not if you use them properly. A lot of people don't read the directions and blow them up like a balloon, and yeah, then you get that effect.
When used properly there is only a couple millimetres of air between you and the seat - they basically look like they are deflated/flat when you are not sitting on them, and this isn't a problem.
