... ... GA is much like motorcyle riding. You don't want to do it when the weather sucks, but when the weather is nice, there is simply no better way to go. Yes. But I was taught not to depend on motorcycles for transportation, for exactly this reason. Well, you were taught wrong. A car may be warmer and drier, but when push comes to shove, a motorcycle will get through a lot more than a car. How do I know? Because for years, ALL I owned was a motorcycle. Summer, (Michigan) winter, rain, snow, no problem. There were lots of time when a snow storm would pretty much shut down the city - so I always would take the oppurtunity to go for a ride. Very little traffic. Plus I got to wave at all the poor saps that were stuck in their cars. Now, cars are convienent, but now that I don't own a bike any more, I have had to miss an occasional day of work because I couldn't get in due to snow. That never happened on the bike. The funny thing is, when I sat down to type this, the talking heads on the TV were going on and on about the National Gaurd having to rescue all the stranded drivers in Colorado. If they were on small motorcycles with knobby tires, they wouldn't be stranded. The only thing tha twas a problem was ice. But cars don't do that well on icy hills either. -- Geoff The Sea Hawk at Wow Way d0t Com remove spaces and make the obvious substitutions to reply by mail When immigration is outlawed, only outlaws will immigrate. |
