luck since the MIL was at the house and the missus was trying to cook
supper. But with a "Look at that snow, quick go grab your camera!" and then
a little bit of "Come on, I won't be more than a minute or two." she agreed
to indulge my childish whim.
So, I barely let the bike warm up before heading out onto the road for a
little fishtailing. It doesn't show that good on the video but the back end
was sliding pretty good. There was a couple times when I couldn't make the
turn and had to stop in order to backup, which seemed to coincide with
traffic going by. I was in 1WD right up until I tried to get back into the
house. I was unsuccessful in getting up the driveway so I waited for
another vehicle to pass then rolled back and put it in 2WD. The 2WD makes
the back end slide A LOT better. Again, you can't really tell but the
backend was fishtailing pretty good up the driveway, first one way then the
other.

Unfortunately there was more traffic than I'd like, a few cars parked on the
road, and the wife will a limited amount of patience, so it's not a long
video. Currently the snow has turned to rain and it's supposed to be close
to 50F tomorrow.

killer!!

I started out with nothing, and

Do you think ML might allow two young lads in the hack next movie?
Looks like fun - I wonder if any of your neighbors were looking out the
window vicariously?

Looks like a blast Tud, Question... do your neighbors worry much about
the resale value of their homes?<g>
Give a man a match and
he will build a fire.
Set a man on fire and
he'll be warm the rest of his life.

Looks like fun, but watch out on those donuts towards the right. If the
bike happens to grab, the sidecar's coming up. I found out mine would on
dirt, gravel, and grass.

I hadn't thought of that, I'll have to try that sometime. <g>

The one on dirt / gravel was pure accident, and in front of a bunch of
people at Pawhuska. I'd gone looking for a shirt for Molly, and made a
sharp u-turn pulling out from in front of a vendor. I just kept going...
