SNOW! I can't WAIT!!

I put Goodrich Traction T/A tires on th' B and it's gonna be interesting to see how much better they are than the stock tires . . . .

But snow means putting away motorcycles . . . so . . . I guess I can wait after all . . . .

We had a couple of big snows last winter (6" and 8") a week apart...I was worried about how our little Boxes would do, Well barely spun a tire and just trudged right through! I did turn the traction control off...the beeping from the VSC was annoying. I'm kind of looking foward to a little snow again this year just so I can play in it...lol

Not for us. We get to ride year round.

Ya know what really ticks them off Red? Getting pulled out of the snow by my 63 VW Baja. They never seem to excited when they ask.

Where in Montana do you live? I used to live in eastern Montana.

How much do the Blizzaks help? I'm thinking of buying snow tires, but don't know if it'll be quite worth $$$.

Well my xBox did just fine in the multiple 3 foot blizzards last year, ok so it stayed put for a while, but once we got out it ran like a champ. We need to put plows on these things, I think it could handle it. Lol.

WTF? Another PW in this city!

I like the plate though, I work at a school and all the little kids call my car "The Ice Cube".

BTW, how the hell did you get the Theel sticker off?! Mine just cracked to hell when I tried to get it off.

I actually go to school in fargo, so my car is rarely in bis/man ne more. but yeah, i told the car salesman to take it off before i came to pick up the car, so i didn't have to worry about taking the sticker off. did you finally get it off though, its ugly.

My stock goodyears were great in the snow. But they do have most of the tread on them still.

Ah... that probally explains why I haven't seen you. I think I've seen most of the PW's in town here, me, some girl that jacked up her front grill, and a really old guy. I haven't got the sticker off yet, maybe I'll try some more today, along with the badges.
