You got to know when to hold up, know when to fold up, know when to walk away, know when to run...
That's Autumn riding with snow.

Hey Kevin -
Looks like the side-stand could use a little lengthening. Caught a few flakes, between rain drops, cruising the Colorado aspen back-country, last Sunday.
J.K.
P.S. Most float planes have already made the switch to skis, and cars to studs.
Looks like the side car fell off.
uh-oh!!!

That's what you get when you use a Brown's side stand on soft ground.
Actually, looks like it could be fun. Get bike back up on 2 wheels and wear really big shoes for outriggers. Weeeeeeeeeeeee
I see the rider standing.
Still a good day!
side car or Ural. that would be the next move.
Looks like fun to me,That would be the riding part
not the falling part!
How about some of these:

Ha! Years and years ago, I got to ride through a rather significant December snowstorm in New England. No sidehack. The only ones out were us and the snowplows. It was absolutely dumping down snow, wet heavy stuff. That was....interesting. I lost track of the number of times it laid down on the road, but we eventually made it.
IIRC, we got something like 9" out of that one.
Wait till you get snow that goes up to the cylinder head of a single, or when its freezing rain out.
Been there, done that, daily to and from work...in the Great White North.
Been there, done that!How about some of these:
In 1986, woke up to 4" of slushy snow after Thanksgiving evening in MSP. Needed to be in DTW on the first. Ace Hardware bailed me out with 3/8" hex screws to do their winter voodoo on my /6's 1K old connies. Made it to Wisconsin first day, then Chicago the next, on to DTW on the final day. Visegrips were used to pull out the ground down tips each day.
J.K.
P.S. Nothing like an 18 wheeler slingging slush to suck the life out of you. No electrics or heated grips, either. Like icying on a plane, I had to excercise my "control surfaces" to prevent them from freezing up in 25F snowy weather.
