u can't deny it's been good lately, i saw like 20+ bikes out friday night and more on saturday too. Just another Calgary freak snowstorm out of no where that will last 2 days and the majority will be melted already, main roads dry, and i'll be seeing bikes out again........had i put my summers on i wouldn't be going to work today.......... that could have been a good thing lol

well as a fact the main roads are clear already which at first i didn't expect but not surprised, if i had summer tires i could still drive on the main roads, i'm sure there are ppl doing that right now. Tho I'll stick to my winter for another 1-2 weeks.

stupid#1=cops+tickets+bye bye car
stupid#2=random cars in the area and if your street racing someone could pop out of no where and now your dead and the person(s) in the vehicle you hit, possibly the person you were racing too, and if u were stupid enough to have your own passengers like a close friend, g/f, maybe a family memeber....
stupid#3=Race city is a race track that allows us to go "street race" every friday night when the weather is warm enough and the track opens......it's that simple
#6808
we prefer to call it what it is, a weekly showNshine under the pretense of "street racing" because nobody races anymore, for 1 it's stupid, for 2 it's stupid, and for 3 it's stupid

ahaha so? you once had 6 posts as well... why judge him without knowing his intention... read his post he asked "does anyone here go to the street races? "
answer... yes, simple as that
and like i said i call it the street races as well, are you going to lecture me on street racing as well now?

and if he has a problem with it i'm sure he will post it for himself, he doesn't need your help defending his position i'm sure he is an adult and can do that for himself

dood lol i tried 10 times to get up my hill.........fail, then it took me another 4 tries to get up Edmonton trail so i could go the other way, the snow was the worst kind, ice underneath and weird, annoying, can't get traction snow. I was so happy to see Edmonton trail cleared up this afternoon
#6814
you're right, but like steve said i can't get going fast enough to hurt anything or one. if one uses his mind one usually stays out of trouble. the only thing i've hit lately is rabbits not ditchs or other cars.lmao thanks Al for your concern, always said you're a good man. welcome octane how the hell are you.

yeah they are supposed to be good to-10 but in a foot of snow they still not the greatest. hell neither is ss/sc in a foot of snow. trucks usually get around much better.
