This post of mine clearly falls in the "hilarious in hindsight" category... this was about the snowiest winter I've ever seen (though not unusually cold), I could hardly ride Teresa at all before April (we live along quite steep dirt/gravel road that are never cleaned at winter)

We really bought a car a month after this post, and 2 days before the first snow. But there were days when even having 4 wheels didn't help, not even on the paved roads.

star_deceiver, good to hear that the KLR does the job for you
