If you got back to the beginning of the blog you’ll need to make sure to click on the individual images to see the sharp, full resolution versions. When I transitioned from Blogger to WordPress the process imported thumbnails. I’m slowly updating them but with hundreds of posts it takes some time!

Thanks for the info. Now I need to go back to the beginning of your blog and catch up.

I purchased Tucano Urbano muffs for my Vespa. They are an Italian company that makes a variety of gear for winter. I got mine from a company in the UK but now they are available on Amazon and eBay. And they do make them for the Burgman. There are a number of other brands including Hippo Hands but I liked the look of the Tucano Urbanos better.

Hope that helps. If you have questions let me know.

That was a huge sheet of ice for around here. Usually it’s smaller patches that aren’t so easy to see. So far I’ve not had any troubling encounters. But more and more I hesitate to venture out when the likelihood of ice is high.

I try to do that when I can. In this instance there wasn’t a good shoulder. Dropped off too much.

Big enough patches of ice, give even three wheels “pause”…..stopping on ice can be interesting too, but then I just engage 2WD and my Ural gets me moving again…..

On two wheels? You’re braver than I am.

It’s weird. Some snow covered roads seem to have good traction while others are like glare ice. I think it must be temperature related with the worst being snow at the close to freezing point where there’s a little liquid water mixed in.

Riding home in a situation like you describe is exhausting. It’s as if you are holding the scooter up by self will alone. Here’s a shot from my worst snow ride home from work. By this point I was past all the points of traffic and that concern. But it was slippery, downhill, and miles to go before I rest.
