Since we’ve talked I’ve educated a few people about it NOT being a trike!

Hopefully somewhere down the road we’ll cross paths again. Say hello to Doug and keep riding safe!

Be happy. https://scooterinthesticks.com/2013/08/canadian-riders/#comment-7706 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 00:11:42 +0000 http://69.195.124.229/~scootet3/?p=118#comment-7706 Great to meet you that day in State College, Steve. Doug and I both recall our conversation quite well and with fondness. It would be a pleasure to meet up with you again one day.
I find your writing style to be hugely identifiable in many ways; as for photography, you post some fascinating pictures. I particularly liked the Vespa at night…lights on…lighting up the rural countryside.
By the way, the Spyder is horrid in the snow…no traction at all. I expect that even with a snow tire, it’d be poor. Wet pavement is awesome; snow and ice: no.

But someday I can see myself riding one in the snow…

Out on the road away from town though I seldom ever see a motorcycle.

If you weren’t worried about messing up the machine with grit and grime it might be ok. You could put a nice big snow tire on the back.

Bicycles you see all the time – I ride all winter with studded tires and have a more secure trip with that rig than I do a car with snow tires.
But motorbikes of any kind are not to be found around here on the roads in winter. They may be in other parts of the province though.
