Sounds like you need to adjust your priorities 
The Motorcycling Gods must not like me

There is only ONE God and He rides a Harley Electra Glide or an Indian Chieftan or so I hear!
It was 57 Degrees early Sat morning, went up to 75! and 40 this Sunday Morning and only 55 this afternoon.
I have joined several local CAN-AM Spyder Clubs recently and the response I got was amazingly enthusiastic and welcoming.
A group ride is planned for this coming Wednesday from Marionville, MO about 50 miles from my Home and then a planned route that I'm not privy too at this time and then of course the obligatory Breakfast or Lunch stop.
So far these groups seem to be maybe 75% Women but I can live with that.
Let the FUN begin! Pictures will follow.

I'm sure I saw Him sitting behind me today, when a stopped car suddenly started to pull out in front of me on my right (rural 2 lane area). By then I was only about 30 yards away (45 mph),w/ a car coming opposite direction a bit ahead, almost put my ABS brakes to the test... and Thankfully the car stopped. Had my high vis vest & high beam on. Made eye contact as I passed by, but have to wonder...DUI? or just failed to see me?There is only ONE God and He rides a Harley Electra Glide or an Indian Chieftan or so I hear!

(I could have gradually slowed a bit approaching the car while being careful that the driver did not misinterpret that.)upper 80's today, finally got out for couple hours
, everybody's brother & mother were out for a CA Sunday ride/drive.
Our Spyder's are known for their ability to 'BURN OUT,' on a dry highway, at will so I think slippery conditions like rain, ice and snow would require a very light throttle hand. 115 Horsepower is way more than most STOCK Big Twin touring bikes so the power must be respected.
-Nate, I will ask about riding on snow in one of my Spyder forums.
EDIT: Googled your question and here's a cool Youtube video:

O.K. then ! .
Thank you .
That looks exciting, maybe if I was younger .
Many years ago a friend I had taught to ride asked me what about snow riding ? so I loaded up the truck with somt Tiddlers and he, my then young son and I headed up to about 9" of snow and had the whale of a time, the skinny 2.75" tires had little problem with traction, we were able to make 35MPH or so but not a thing I'd want to do in any traffic .
A few years back I saw a trike with rear dual wheels, I wondered if that's be any better in wet / snowy pavement, I have no idea what brand that trike was, NOT one of those huge Gold Win / Harley conversions, I don't like massive bikes .
Hog, what kind of trike do you have ? .
As I was a farm boy I never really got fun from shredding tire$, burnouts don't do it for me, I prefer to motorvate as quickly as I feel is safe in all situations .
