That convinced me that Rizoma needs to make a holder for ice scrapers/brushes.
I laughed throughout that whole video. Awesome, man!

Mate, that is awesome!
I'm such a softy. Being from Melbourne, it was hard enough for me to grasp the amount of snow you had to clean of the bike, let alone ride it in such conditions.
Btw, would you get a ticket from your friendly local law enforcement officer for the speedo not working? LOL! I doubt they'd actually want to get out of their warm car in such conditions.

Awesome!
I've ridden when it was -6 Celsius before, but never in the snow, and not with my Monster.
I'm fairly certain I would never ride in those conditions, but I do miss having a bike that I didn't worry about getting wet or dirty. I used to feel somewhat elated and amused when riding in the rain, but with the Monster I start to worry if a single drop hits my visor.
I need another bike!

Very cool!
Your bike's favorite part of the ride was when you pulled in a covered garage!!

Every day, all year. Unless the missus wants me to pick something heavy up, then I take my truck but it hasn't got winter tires so I try to avoid her needs.
But we have summer too - slightly warmer and very much nicer – so it's not as bad as it looks. Not every day at least
How long are you on the road? Looked like a while.
I rode my DR350 in Flagstaff and Michigan for 3 winters during college. A lot of snow but it had knobby tires and the ride was only a 5 min ride each way.

Not sure how many of you have ridden a motorcycle in the snow...I have...not on purpose, but I once rode through a freak blizzard in May through a mountain pass that had 6" accumulating on the highway, with my gf of the time on the back. It was terrifying.
Stunning to me that anybody would choose to ride a Monster in the snow, through traffic, at those speeds. High marks for balls though.

Keep in mind he has the right tires that are studded.
Traction makes all the difference
