(http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/482947_690472615746_1024022255_n.jpg) Im not good enough at wheelies to ride without that stuff... Title: Re: Its 60 and sunny. Post by: ducpainter on February 01, 2013, 03:50:37 AM You could probably get by without the wheel...
the bars not so much. [laugh] Title: Re: Its 60 and sunny. Post by: freeclimbmtb on February 01, 2013, 03:59:49 AM Yeah, thats a ticket waiting to happen, you know, with no headlight and all.
Title: Re: Its 60 and sunny. Post by: ducpainter on February 01, 2013, 05:52:14 AM No worries...

Title: Re: Its 60 and sunny. Post by: JohnEE on February 01, 2013, 06:13:33 AM Yep...Ive got clear blue skys and 26°F. but no snow in sight! ;D I shouldn't have even bothered to shovel the other day, the rain and warm weather washed it all away. Title: Re: Its 60 and sunny. Post by: DesmoTull on February 07, 2013, 03:49:20 PM Just kidding, snowmegeddon coming tomorrow.
Title: Re: Its 60 and sunny. Post by: herm on February 07, 2013, 05:36:57 PM Just kidding, snowmegeddon coming tomorrow. don't worry, we spent all day prepping for the snowpocalypse (checking equipment, scheduling extra staffing, etc...) therefor, as long as no one washes a truck before 1800 hours tomorrow,....pretty much guaranteed not to happen. Title: Re: Its 60 and sunny. Post by: freeclimbmtb on February 08, 2013, 04:48:15 AM Im in the 16-24+ belt. I guess while the monster is still ripped apart I should fit a ski and track. [bang]
Title: Re: Its 60 and sunny. Post by: JohnEE on February 08, 2013, 04:50:35 AM Im in the 16-24+ belt. Me too, anyone got any studded tires? Title: Re: Its 60 and sunny. Post by: JohnEE on February 09, 2013, 06:00:08 AM This thread was started a little over a week ago......New England in a nutshell. Stay Safe out there!
Title: Re: Its 60 and sunny. Post by: herm on February 09, 2013, 05:14:27 PM supposed to be in the low 40's by Tuesday..
Title: Re: Its 60 and sunny. Post by: JohnEE on February 09, 2013, 05:33:00 PM The rain on monday is going to make a huge mess out of the +2ft of snow we just got....
Title: Re: Its 60 and sunny. Post by: freeclimbmtb on February 10, 2013, 06:06:11 AM ...yup.
Stupid new england. [bang] Title: Re: Its 60 and sunny. Post by: herm on February 10, 2013, 07:04:56 PM supposed to be in the low 40's by Tuesday.. Correction, it was in the mid 40's today [47 actually] Title: Re: Its 60 and sunny. Post by: freeclimbmtb on February 11, 2013, 05:35:18 AM Correction, it was in the mid 40's today [47 actually] I didnt look at the dial, but it sure didnt feel too bad when I had the garage door open yesterday...tolerable in a t-shirt at least for a few minutes. Of course I just looked out the office window and its snowing again. It will probably change over to rain right around quitting time. Title: Re: Its 60 and sunny. Post by: ducpainter on February 11, 2013, 11:58:33 AM How's 60 and sunny treating you now? ;D
Title: Re: Its 60 and sunny. Post by: herm on February 11, 2013, 07:13:28 PM 2" of snow this morning. then rain all afternoon.
supposed to be sunny and "warm" again tomorrow ahead of the next possible storm...."Orko" Title: Re: Its 60 and sunny. Post by: freeclimbmtb on February 12, 2013, 04:49:06 AM How's 60 and sunny treating you now? ;D Better than the girl that burried her Saab in the snow bank in front of my house last night. Quick quiz. When your driving in a wintery mess and start to slide when you hit the brakes, do you: a) Push the brakes harder. b) Cut the wheel. c) Scream bloody murder. d) All of the above. e) None of the above. If you chose anything other than e, you should probably just stay home in the winter. Title: Re: Its 60 and sunny. Post by: JohnEE on February 12, 2013, 04:54:16 AM Shouldn't have even touched the brakes in the first place. Power slide it! When i was out on Saturday afternoon i saw soo many FWD cars just having an awful time, just stay home FWD people for our safety and yours.
Title: Re: Its 60 and sunny. Post by: freeclimbmtb on February 12, 2013, 05:41:38 AM With the Blizzak WS70s and traction control on my GTI, it almost does better in the snow than my CJ-7 with 31" mud terrains. (though clearance is an issue in the deep stuff...)
Title: Re: Its 60 and sunny. Post by: Scooter Montgomery on February 12, 2013, 07:42:48 AM Snow tires make all the difference. I feel more comfortable driving my Jetta with studded snows in 6" of snow than my Jeep with 31" Duratrac Mud and Snow tires. All seasons are neither excellent in summer or winter.

I feel more comfortable driving my Jetta with studded snows in 6" of snow than my Jeep with 31" Duratrac Mud and Snow tires. All seasons are neither excellent in summer or winter. I agree 100% Ive had all seasons on all our cars growing up...unimpressive year round. When I got the GTI, I wanted a smaller wheel for the winter so I didnt have to worry about hitting something hidden in the snow with one of the 18's...ended up with aluminum 16's with snows...couldnt be happier with the decision. (now i just need to get my foot out of the carpet so i get more than one season off of them. [evil]) Title: Re: Its 60 and sunny. Post by: JohnEE on April 09, 2013, 06:41:43 AM Its going to in the 60s this week.......but raining.....at least it will wash most of the salt/sand away.
Title: Re: Its 60 and sunny. Post by: Scooter Montgomery on April 09, 2013, 10:20:15 AM I did 90 miles yesterday. Unfortunately it was just back and forth to work on Route 3, but it still counts.
Title: Re: Its 60 and sunny. Post by: herm on April 09, 2013, 09:23:58 PM it was 60 and sunny yesterday. ;D
