No ill words for those two but as a person who attempts to ride all year we all know we must watch the weather close or have other ways of getting home. This storm was called a week before it arrived. Please keep the tips coming for riding in that kind of condition. I hope I never need them but I am listening. I will say I practice many riding skills but never would attempt this one.

On closer inspection, that bike with the trunk and bags looks more like a Yamaha Royal Star Venture. The rounded edges of the trunk and bags are the clue.

His biggest error was trying to ride in that weather with that skinny little moto sneaker. A Winter alternative tire would've got him home. ;)

Notice the back end broke loose when he tried to give it gas to go uphill. Of course , his throttle input may have been less than smooth.

Paul, that looks like the track of a car tire, don't think he would of made it as far as he did with a motorcycle tire.
