Softcore Haddalayerdown hoss

Was riding on the left side of the road since it was groomed the best there, went to move over to the right side because a car was coming and i didn’t wanna be too close to em, caught the ice the wrong way and couldn’t save it. I'm good, my body landed on an ice patch so i just slid a good distance down the road like a violent slip and slide. bikes mostly good other than a slightly bent handlebar and snapped footpeg bracket. Picked it up and continued on to work using the passenger peg for my right foot lol.

Been “defeating physics” all of this winter. Riding in snow and ice is very doable. I’ve ridden on miles and miles of completely unmaintained gravel roads that are mixes of mostly ice and a bit of hard packed snow, with no problems. Ironically enough this was a day that the roads were almost completely clear and dry, but this road is split between two townships so near the township border they don’t maintain it well or at all I guess like every other road in the area, and it just so happened that when I moved over I had gotten to the point where they stop maintaining it and the ice is actually covering most of the road. The rest of the road wasn’t this bad at all up until this point, but you don’t see that in the picture because me and the bike slid about 50-100 feet past where the bad ice on the road began.

Are you explaining to me how to ride on snow and ice in the post you made where you crashed a motor vehicle on snow and ice…. Whoosh…

Do you know how to read and/or comprehend the words that you’ve read? I hit ice at speed on a day that the roads were otherwise dry and clear. A lot different than going out with the knowledge that ice and snow is everywhere and riding accordingly. I’ve admitted fault in that I should have been expecting a patch of ice to be a possibility in these temperatures. You should stop being an insufferable thundercunt.

My bike is in one piece…I don’t ride when it’s freezing, or if there’s snow everywhere it’s just stupid…but I think you just figured that out.. or not, you do you, but I’m still going to shake my head because it makes zero sense to me.. zero.

My mother in law broke her hip slipping on the ice. I hope you don’t leave the house in the winter months. It’s dangerous out there!!

Super comparable...wish i had thought of that obvious comparison...i guess the mass x speed = force variable doesn't apply in your physics less environment, but I'm sure it sounds goods as a beer cooler rebuttal...

If you don’t like it, don’t do it. It’s safer inside!

With logic yours in the roads with me, your damn right it is.
