Great pic, Piper!!!

While I was driving home after work yesterday, I was passing through downtown San Jose (slowly...there was a lot of traffic), and I looked up into the hills above my house..... They were covered in snow!! What a sight! It might happen again tonight, and we'll have the camera ready if it does!

That picture is gorgeous.

I wish that was me, just so I could say that was me!!

Hey Piper!

I was going to say that might have been Doc Wong, as he did say that he rode yesterday, but he didn't say that it snowed, and he rides a red R1100RS, but I can't quite make out if that's his helmet or if he's wearing a rainjacket.

Helmet looks silver, maybe? I always thought the Doc's helmets more....er....colourful?

Yes, but he may have another helmet. (But, I do know that he doesn't have handgrip warmers(!))

Whoa....good picking up of details! I had to go back and look again... Looks like fun, but I'm not brave enough for snow riding yet.

It snowed here in Austin today. Not enough to stick (except to my visor), but it was definitely snowing. Riding back to the dorms was a very cold adventure for me, even if it was only 15 minutes. Highway speeds while wearing jeans. Jeeze. Never have I wanted a fairing so much in my life.
