Wow, I like your photos! Especially the one with the tank ;)

I haven't seen that much snow over here in Germany this season. But to be honest, I'm really looking forward to spring ;)

RichardM: There is a variety of armored vehicles at the Museum. They used to arrive with the engines disabled and the hatches open until a few kids got one running and went for a short ride.

Now they have no engines and the hatches are welded shut.

Good idea about the parking office. I'll talk to them tomorrow about the problems of the spaces being plowed over.

bob skoot: I had bacon that morning at the Corner Room. Makes a cold ride worth the trouble.

You had me scared about the tire being on wrong. Went outside and checked -- it is on correctly. The tracks do seem to be opposite what one would expect.

Charlie6: All the snow removal people are gone so I don't think they even realize the hardship we year round riders face.

Can't imagine war in winter. Especially in the 1940s before all the high tech clothing came out.

Maybe you should pick up a tank for your commute. Apparently there are some just laying around.

I stopped by our parking office to ask about motorcycle parking spots in the winter. They assured me that I won't be ticketed for using them out of season.

I bet the facilities guy in charge of snow removal was surprised to find the Vespa there, sitting pretty.

The first thing that came to mind whe I saw the pic with the tank…..Ardennes and the Battle of the Bulge….nice.
