If I do it'll be up to PIR and around the track for ToR.

Haven't made up my mind if I'm gonna do it Sunday or Saturday yet.

Believe it or not, I have a hankering for going out to Maupin and Tyghe Valley this weekend.

I have mounted the studded snow tires to the Rs, so I should be good to go.

My disreputable colleagues at work are trying to talk me into this.

They were out there some weeks ago and mentioned the great roads.

hmmmmm . . .

Truth be told, they are the virtual kind, I guess.

I hear the snow level will be dropping down to about 3000 feet tomorrow.

Good lord - snow level? - I'm starting to sound like Mother . . .

Snow level?

I'd ask him what that is but I'd rather not wake a bear in hibernation. He gets grumpy.

I didnt look at those two video's, so if this has been mentioned, sorry.  Smiley

Last winter Dutaci had some event where Stoner rode the motogp bike on an ice track with studded tires.  I dont recall where I saw the video, maybe on Ducati's site, but I bet if you looked on youtube, its there.  Pretty crazy shit!

The route from HWY 35 through Dufer to Tyghe Vally and Wamic back to HWY 26 is a good ride. [moto]

It wasn't Stoner on the ice-tired Ducati, he was there but he didn't ride it, it was a factory test rider on the 2007 990 CC MotoGP bike. waytogo
