I haven't seen any recent photos being posted so here ya go...I was missing all the snow this year moving from Pacific NW to California.

So I decided to go find some. I didn't stop for too many pictures as it was just to much fun.

Partial Route:

The accent to Idyllwild California is actually pretty tame in grade but makes up for it with pure twisties.

The views were spectacular...not a bad way to spend Black Friday. It did get a little chilly at 6,000 feet but well worth it.

The descent into Banning was pure magical...

Take care and rubber side down!
Oh ya, the snow...

It handles OK in the rain and snow for a jr sport. The tread on the sport tires are really not meant for adverse conditions however mine has seen plently of off road miles, mud, rain and slushy snow. Ya ya ya I should have bought a dual sport. :-)

I ride on quite a bit of gravel with mine, and it does just fine. Letting a little air out of the tires helps some but I usually don't even bother with that. I don't off-road it. Just dirt and gravel roads. I figure that I don't need a dual sport to go the same places that I could go in a Corolla. By the way I just bought some OEM tires to replace the originals and intend to carry on with gravel and dirt. I like to explore and pavement can get boring.
