Cruiser In The Snow (1 Viewer)

[Pighead]

Unfortunately, did find some downed trees and power lines between us and beer. Necessitating an impromptu neighborhood chainsaw session.
Did meet a neighbor with an 80 with a Mudrak license plate frame who was, coincidentally, on a beerrun as well.
So, two Cruisers in the snow...

Still not quite road worthy…

Now that is some snow, wow. Here in TN we don't get that level of wintry weather at all. Looks "fun" from my laptop, but it bet that was hard work moving those fallen trees

How does that plow frame work to get the plow so vertical? Never seen one like it.

I have discovered something worse that laying in the gravel under a 40 working on it. When I was younger, it sucked working building it on gravel but it was fun to have done it.

Now, much older than I care to admit, laying in the snow in bellow freezing weather is much worse. After digging out the previously removed Rad bracket, drilling out the holes to 3/8, and fitting in the bolts, I was out of daylight.

First nut was a bit fiddly, but I got it on. The second however was a much bigger pain. It froze to the fender where I set it down while I did the first. After freeing it from the fender with a wrench, I had slide under the 40 atop the cardboard I’d put over the snow. First I lost 3-4” of space because of the depth of now compacted snow. Second it was pitch black out. Third, working by flashlight, I could just see where it needs to go. Forth, I couldn’t feel the nut in my hands. Fifth, I couldn’t turn the nut to get it started.

Keeping it tech…

My old HJ45 in the snow. Older picture. We have had ZERO snow in Northern Colorado front range so far. Possibility for saturday...

Got this much snow last night, so time for a beerrun.

Ok, it was a fuelrun too, but nobody makes songs about fuelruns...

I think you're onto something. With the fight against fossil fuels by all the dummies that think "clean" energy can just show up everywhere for free, we'll be singing songs about gasoline and fuelruns of our past!

got around to clearing some of the snow off

Reasonably rare snowfall for us down here. This is many years ago though. It was a scheduled months club ride and we lucked out on a good snow. My old Cruiser in it's natural habitat. Punchin' through where the trail used to be. For any locals, this was in Tracy City, TN.

Lots of snow up in Big Bear this last week. Went out twice. Once solo and once with a buddy. Amazing what low air pressure and big tires can do in the deep stuff!

I got some big chains and hope to go up to NorCal to test them out soon!
