I think I am with Johnny, but this is my first year so I will have to let you know! Have not yet figured out all the gear just yet.

Since I am still new, I expect I will be pretty conservative about chances for snow... Which is a problem here, the weather forecasts are a bit streaky.

I'm a wimp. My buddy has been stored in my heated garage since early November. I run the engine once a week, though, so it doesn't feel too neglected.

The snowplowed roads can be hazardous....ice patches or compact snow junks, black ice, etc. Need to be alert and cautious when riding.

Alternative ride home if an unexpected snow storm were to flair up.

Dress for the ride, dress for the weather. brrr!

Hardy riders..enjoy!

I just bought a buddy for my wife last night. She loves it. but I doubt she (or I for that fact) am experienced or brave enough to venture out in the cold on the buddy... that cold wind is brutal!

uuughhhhh, this winter does NOT want to end. my scoot is stored in a client's unheated garage, so at least she's safe. why "she"? her name is "your mom". good times.

What gear do you wear to withstand the cold windy-city winds?
