For Dixie and All Points South

[Merle Coggins]

Merle I saw 2.89 on my way home yesterday. Gotta make sure all the Minnesotans can drive to Green Bay to watch the pack lose again.

Let 'em bring their money to Green Bay... they're gonna go home sad.

Here's one for you Merle. I really don't care about the game or football in general but had to give you a hard time.

I like that one, Ed. Here's another one for my neighbors to the south.

I saw this today and thought of you, Fred. If you're going to take those bikes out in this weather you may want to beef up the traction.

What happens when you do a burnout on ice? See pic.

Fred, glad that you had the Fargo out and about.

Do they use salt on the roads up there?

Down here the State and County have pure salt on the roads, while the town uses a mixture of four parts sand to one part salt

Hey all you Southerner;)s, thought I would post some pics of my;) "ice cruise", and make you shiver and run for the indoors.. Today went to local General Store, bought gas, went for about a 20 mile cruise, took some pics, and visited a neighbours farm.

Outside ambient temp, 15f, windchill -4:eek:, high today 25.....enjoy, From ole Frosty of the North:) BTW Happy New Year to Yall, south of 49, and north of 49

I'm glad you enjoyed your ice crusie:eek:,the truck looks great.But you can have the cold.

Sunday our riding club hosted a 3 hour buddie Harescramble,I rode my KTM 200 in the woods about 25 miles just piddiling around helping and watching and it was 44 degrees and sunny,now that is the kind of winter weather I can live with here on the Alabama,Mississippi state line!

Bobby I am wit ya , Good Buddy, I just love those dry days in late fall early spring sunny dry and 45-55, nice cruisin weather. Right now it's pretty mild up here for winter, and all the roads get sloppy with slush and salt, prefer it a little colder, then roads stay super dry, and did you know the colder it is, that ice is less slippery and salt has little effect, so than add sand and salt to mix...... thumbs up for "Dixieland"

Hi Bob, sand and some salt added, when it gets colder than say 15f or so, don't think salt or calcium chloride does much. I know they add liquid to the mix so the stuff bight in to the frozen ice.

The gravel roads were just fine, it was on the pavement , where I go salted up, but washed here all down the same night in the shop.

When it's cold and dry, say temps 5 above and lower, nice driving no slush, even snow and ice packed is less slippery the colder it is....

Now that could be an interesting ride...
