Great pic, Piper!!!  O0

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!   :thumb:

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?  :laugh:

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.  :bowdown:

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.
