While attending ET school in GLakes I rode a Honda 350 back and forth
from our apartment because my wife needed the car. During the winter
the base would not allow the bike "on base", so I had to park it outside
the main gate. Wasn't fun riding it in snow and I would never recommend it.
We disagree. My little Honda 125 was an on/off road bike, didn't have knobby tires, but they were
almost knobby. I'd take it into the woods at Ft. Belvoir and have a blast riding in the snow. Wore a
snowmobile suit. Went down a few times, but never anything serious. Probably put half a dozen new
turn signals on that thing.
But, commuting in the winter with ice and snow is something I sure as hell wouldn't do now. I
learned that one the hard way.
Actually, I was mistaken about the Honda 350. I had one of them later.
The bike I rode back and forth to the base was a Honda 305 "Super Hawk".
It's not an off-road type bike. It's a street bike and in the snow the
tires were basically slicks. I remember riding it with about 6 inches
of snow on the road with both feet out on the road, sorta "skiing" to
keep the bike from sliding out from under me.
