everyone at leland told me they chickened out because of snow, then changed their mind when it suddenly got sunny and nice out, including sideshow. My bike chickened out and is getting a whole new wiring harness today on my lunch hour. Fortunately, bikebuilder loaned me the frankenstein katana and we rode to leland from beaver dam with him on the RF600 with the supermono tail that's somewhere on this site. On the way up to beaver dam (driving a van) it was full on blizzard except that none of it was really sticking to the highway. But serious fast and heavy snowing, coming down in sloppy chunks too big to be called flakes. Being 9am in May in Wisconson I pretty much figured it'd burn off and disappear by noon, or turn to rain. We left at 10am from beaver dam and it was nice the whole way. Real fun ride. Turnout was kind of low though, especially for the wierd and cool stuff. Way too many boring stock new bikes, but oh well. For the record, I would not ride on the roads to leland if they were covered in snow. I ride in town and occasionally on major well traveled highways in snow. No choppy twisty farm roads in the middle of nowhere--especially since no cell phones work in that area. |
