I can remember leaving in a snow storm on my FZ1000 to go camping a state away. I had the bike for a day or two and was wanting to ride. Tire quality had increased dramatically from 1975 to 1992. The full fairing helped. Was riding with a friend on an unfaired Harley who never warmed up all weekend.

Still sitting my Jetta with snow tires and having the heat on is comforting.
