Exclamation Cold weather reminder..... Why not to play to hard....

Well all of you that know me or was around this time last year, its one year today since my near fatal bike wreck.

It was this time last year that I lost my mind and tried to ride a cold tire bike into a turn @ over 110mph. Please remember that even though the air comes up in temp (just like it is today) that the ground is still cold.

The holiday times for me now mean im thankful to be here.....

LOL.... Im sure some of you wish I was not.... Have one on me...

I'll second that!! Just wrapped my L around a tree off cold pavement. $9000.00 damage but she'll be back and better.

I ride my bike all winter and you are sure correct about watching traction during cold Wx. I'm also glad you are here to post with us. I hope to meet you in the Spring as i want to run at a track for the 1st time (been Modding for a while now) and all the 1/4 mile one's are up your way. VMP has the first season T&T Mar 1st at 1100. Ye haw.

Did that myself in the cold weather. My L lost it along time ago and ran over a curb, side ways and broke 3 of my rims to pieces and scraped the hell out of my side skirts. Wasn't to bad but it was bad enough.
