We actually had our first snow a couple of weeks ago.  Got some more this morning, but it was more of a slush rain than actual snow. 

Don't put your bike away, just put on the spiked ice-racing tires! ;D

I actually used to race a Kawasaki Bighorn on ice w screws.
Blew out my knee when I high-sided and the bike tried to
jam my knee through the ice.

The most I might do for cold riding is put a windshield on my cb550. :-\

The driver Ken Block, is pretty insane, he also does professional rally driving, on that last jump he screwed his back up pretty good I guess. here's another video that's worthwhile. This is called Gymkhana, pretty much just insane driving. The last one is the most insane car jump I've ever seen.

That's what I'd like to hear.
