What is this "snowing" of which you speak?

So you are not coming 5000km back west, and the new name will be just "slov" ?Well! I rode two motorcycles 30 feet each today. Now, that may not sound like a big deal, but the last time I saw them they were 5000 kms west of here. That was two months ago. Our container arrived yesterday and Customs were there today to open it. We got the truck out, got the bikes out of the truck and put them back in the container. Temporarily, of course. It was about 1*C and snowing.
Yes, I suppose you're quite correct. One way ticket and all that! 😁So you are not coming 5000km back west, and the new name will be just "slov" ?![]()
Yes, really hoping to avoid this in the future. Hard to find the truck, let alone a motorcycle!Sort of like this probably View attachment 310530 View attachment 310534
That first photo looks like the boat landing on Sherry's Arm of Pokegama Lake right off Cty Rd 17. Am I right?Sort of like this probably View attachment 310530 View attachment 310534

Yeah, I'm hoping for less snow and shorter winters over here in southern Slovakia. 5*C (~42*F) here at the moment. Just a few flurries yesterday. My pics were Nova Scotia snow.I like snow in moderate quantities. You guys over achieve in the snow department. It’s in the 50f range here in the middle of the US.
Congrats on your move slovcan👍, being literally in the middle of Europe you'll now have access to some of the best riding roads in the world (including many mountains in central Slovakia), and quick access to beautiful Mediterranean vacation destinations. Also many legendary F1, MotoGP, WRC venues near by.Yeah, I'm hoping for less snow and shorter winters over here in southern Slovakia. 5*C (~42*F) here at the moment. Just a few flurries yesterday.

Yup, right on all counts. Been to the F1 race at the Hungaroring, Brno isn't very far for Moto GP, Bulgaria is a favourite vacation destination for a lot of folks - Croatia, too, but getting pricey, Vysoky Tatry (High Tatra Mountains) big thumbs up for great bike roads. Ukraine? Not concerned. The economy is fucked here like everywhere in the world because of Covid and the dirty little war. But, we are surrounded by NATO and a member. My ride loop planned for Ukraine, Black Sea, Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary and home is going to have to wait a bit. The one to Finland & Scandinavia will come first.Congrats on your move slovcan👍, being literally in the middle of Europe you'll now have access to some of the best riding roads in the world (including many mountains in central Slovakia), and quick access to beautiful Mediterranean vacation destinations.

Once they stop this nonsense war, Europe will become a much safer and better place to retire. Without getting "too political" do you have much concerns considering your proximity to Ukraine?

Yeah, I wish I could have. We (me and a friend) had to unload all the stuff packed around the truck to get it out, then get the bikes off the truck in the flurries. Pretty pooped to try riding around on slippery ground. Soon, though, SOON!See? Now I don't like all that deep snow piling up around houses and front doors and driveways. I'm hoping with all my tax dollars being dumped into "fixing" "global climate change", they can put a stop to that.
And @slovcan, you pulled your bikes out of the storage container just to get a little snow on them, then put them back in? Like a winter wash? You should have at least rode them around the block a couple of times!![]()
True, there is no good or bad time to do things in life... and if you wait for the perfect conditions, you might expire while waitingYup, right on all counts.
