I just checked that other thread out. That is some seriously nice work you did there!

Thank you very much!

Freezing drizzle overnight and fluffy pancake snow falling all day, today, in the Mile High City..

I had forgotten what a pleasure it is to drive my 1985 Toronado on Ice-Slickened & Snowy Roads.

I have Studded Snow Tires and Disc Brakes at all 4 corners.

It stops... It goes... It corners... It is absolutely lovely!

I just have to watch out for the fools not fortunate enough to be in such a wonderfully capable vehicle... Sliding through intersections... unable to get going again once they gave stopped... Bouncing off curbs while unable to steer...

*heavy sigh*

I know their pain. I spent two miserable winters in Denver (really Litton) driving a bug eye sprite as my only car... First to put on chains... last to take them off..... Tedd

Howdy Tedd!

Were you in Littleton? I commute from Denver to Littleton 6 (and sometimes 7) days a week, all year round!

Brave of you driving a Bug-Eye Sprite in serious snow... maybe even suicidal! Folks in their SUV's & Pickups tend to not see you 'way down there'! In either case, I am glad to hear that you survived!

I drove a Puch 500 (2-Cylinder, Air Cooled) Car, not a Bike, and a 68 Bug through a few winters while residing in the mountains... Miserably Cold Vehicles! Scraping the ice off of the inside of the windshield & windows... YUCK! But, they were always shod in Studded Snow Tires for winter operations and I always had chains with me. I may have been cold, but I got where I was going!
