Motorcycle Travel Series by @velimir 'Snow Time' (Part #245)
'Snow Time'
Even though we were all starting to fool ourselves that the winter might pass in a sunny tone and bearable temperature, the weatherman has finally put an end to much of a hope. The forecast is quite dreadful and 'the winter is coming', for sure. This unfortunate fact might put a pause on my riding.
The northern side of a hill, remaining in a shade for most of the day, is already slightly white. It felt like beautiful late autumn for weeks and I was surprised by the kind weather. But, until the sleet covers the road and temperatures remains bearable, I will not surrender the wheels.
There is something really beautiful about riding surrounded by snow. At times, it feels almost like skiing. I've skied quite a bit when boy and teenager. Later on, it sort of got sidetracked and now I ski very rarely. But, when I do, I always surprise myself that I've not forgotten how.
When riding, one feels the road through the tires. But, still, it is a good practice to lower foot and check the condition of the surface. This way, one actually feels if it's slippery and how much. Speed control is essential in this conditions.
Now that I got myself thinking about skiing, a good exciting feeling arises from within. If the deep snow falls, I'm going to ski over a few slopes this year. Might take a few pics, too. Not a bad idea at all!
Do you guys like skiing?
Enjoy your day! :-)

Biking in the snow is more fun when you have company 😀
nice post thank for shearing
Great travel. I very like this travel.
I also really like traveling in cold temperatures. unfortunately here there is no snow like your place.
Hi @velimir
I do not think that winter is terrible, it's an excellent option for other activities. All we can do is put under the weather. This reminded me of some people who are worried about different life circumstances.
In life, just like in the weather, there are cold and warm days and all we can do is take it as a date and dress according to the weather. This applies to the everyday emotional life of a person :)
If you have a lot of snow, you have to make a series of skis :)
Thank you
Good day
It might actually be good - seeing some real winter with snow and all - after all, snow is nice too and if skiing is part of the package is even better!
I never had the chance to ski - I guess it takes some courage that someone who rides on semi frozen roads have and I don't:)
The last photo is my favorite! It is so abstract - one might even think it's foamy waves smashing on the shore :)
Are there some special wheels one can use on a motorcycle in order to make him adept to riding on a snowy, frozen roads?
Not that I know :D
i do like your descriptions, they make me riding while reading your post. You reflect the riding actions in my mind and makes me behave is you when i'm riding.
Your words are such an inspiration for me. I'm not a car fan and motorcycles are my best.
If i could i would be the winner in a race with you.
cause i am a bike expert.
On the otherside, i see you as a perfect opponent,
bright enough to excel, win and surpasse
but i'm fearless since all the races are mine.
take your bike and instruct me
cause i run but not reach
i move with not compass.
i'm just a fool who waste fuel

On your back mate!
I love to ski, and where I live can not be done because there is no place and monster is not appropriate. Because as we know skiing is a snowball whose teams run the snow using two ski boards mounted on the feet and sticks held by hand to help balance us.
Skiing is popular as a sports sport, but there are also professional players who compete in international championships such as the Winter Olympics.
Thaks you ....
I enjoy snow once in my life , we were a group of 15 people, we went there specially to enjoy snowfall, but there was no snowfall for the first 6 days, that was our last day there , and at the midnight suddenly we heard noise of many people southing, we came out, it was snowing. We enjoy alot there. Next day morning was a dreamy day for me, we. Made snow man, ate snow.enjoyed alot
I thought riding on a bike in snowing condition will be scary,but i see you enjoyed that.The only thing I could pick up is that you had fun . And thanks for letting us share know the memories with you.Thank's for such beautiful post.@upvoted and resteemed
