The Abominable Snowmotoman and the Ice Storm of Death (a.k.a. Springtime at Twisted Throttle Headquarters)

Up here in Rhode Island, spring comes a little later than in other warmer parts of the country. So while all you guys are yucking it up riding your bikes in 70-degree spring weather down in California, Texas, and Florida, I figured I'd post a little sample of our favorable spring riding weather.

Most Twisted Throttle employees celebrate the change in the seasons in Rhode Island by riding to work once it's warm enough for the fluffy bunnies to come out to play. Matt's special. He rides his 2005 Kawasaki KLR650A to work every day (partially because he doesn't own a 4-wheeled vehicle...), even during the worst icestorm of the season. We all agree that Matt's definitely much more bad-ass than the rest of us.

Anyhow, the following video shows Matt's adventures as he prepares to ride home from work on a day with 8 inches of snow followed by two hours of freezing rain. Like I said, Matt's special - he's our all-seasons adventure-riding mascot. Go Matt go!
