i got my bike from a2zen last night. and drive my baby home...good thing she was in the back of a truck. took 45 minutes to get to pullman from colfax. 4wd 25mph and pure whiteout conditions and too icy in pullman to even attempt to unload the beast. i look forward to 40 degree weather

I was riding back to Bremerton from Seattle yesterday thinking how lucky i was to catch some sun.
Down around Fife i hit some crazy snow/frozen rain and vis went to nothing.

In fact the worst riding situation i have ever been in.
I thought about pulling over but the chance of getting hit by a car that couldn't see me kept me going.
the weather let up about 5 miles down the highway and i could see again however hypothermia began to set in and i still had 45 miles to go.
By the time i got to the house i was past shaking, spent a 1/2 hour in a hot shower and was still cold for a hour or so.
Who would have thought frozen snow when it's almost April..

Bring on some warm weather!
On a side not spoke to my father in AZ and it was 85 and sunny..

Next time pullover at Starbucks or something and grab a cup of something hot...warm up, let the wx pass, and continue with increased reaction time and positive attitude!

Man, with the wind-chill that trip over the narrows bridge must have suuuuuucked...

I drove back from Portland yesterday. It was nasty from Washtucna till a little before Dusty. Heavy, wet sleet coming down. A couple cars off the road. I'm ready for some better weather.
