Ducati Monster, '03.

Yeah, I spent last year on the east side, aka the cold side of Washington. Had to go through almost a mile of deep, packed snow on the road once in December. This time of year black ice isn't a huge danger, and we're I'm heading the temps look to be highs of 50, lows in the mid 30s while I'm there. The pass, Snoqualmie pass on the I-90, is in danger of getting snow, but mostly of the slushy kind this time of year.

I'm looking to head out shortly after first light, to make sure I arrive before dark. I didn't last year, and that just made the traveling more difficult and colder.
