omfg... no april fool's joke either...
Woke up this morning, weatherman says " 0 celcius, cloudy, snow and/or rain later this afternoon .. ... 10 to 20 cm !!!! " ... like wtf ???
I hop out of bed, get ready, and have to decide on " Bike vs Cab " .. well.. i biked !
By 2pm the snow started for a bit then stopped, figured " Phew !. "
by 3pm it started nowing .. HARD..
by 4pm i head out the door with a grocery bag covering my battery pack and controller and off i go on the Norco !.. almost wiped out 10ft in, 100v setup in a 20" rim and now covered slush don't mix !!.. daaamn..
I made it about 1 km in, glasses fogged out and snow covered, i had to pull over and clear the lenses or put them in my pocket.. commnig to a very slow stop i almost wiped out again... so i decide to pull into a store driveway and let some air out of the tires ( as they were at 60 psi for dry pave.!! . ) and i ended up putting it on it's side lol.. no harm done it was a clean exit..
Picked the bike up and damit. the kick stand spring went MIA.. argh.. so i'm soaked, 40mph winds, horizontal snow ( the big flakes that cover stuff.. fast.. ) . broken kick stand.. laughing my ass off as i'm actually having fun lol..
Decide this is madness as it's friday at 4pm and traffic is heavy of cell phone drunkards at the wheel, came to my senses and called the neighbor for rescue !!!
I have to cross a traffic circle on my way home and there was a van all smashed in when i we went thru with the truck, know when to hold'em, know when to fold'em !!
While i waited for the truck rescue, i taped up the kick stand with electrical tape ( always have a roll in the backpack ) .. and played around doing donuts in the parking lot. hehe.
Yeah.. did the ride of shame home in a pickup truck.. but i still have my legs !
