Has anyone driven highway #1 tonight ?

If so are the roads any good?

I just got a call saying my uncle is in the hospital and i got to ride out there right now...on my bike!!! Im fully suited so warmth is no problem slick roads could be an issue.

Im ridding to golden so any info would be great!!!!!

Im leaving in 30mins so any and all info would be great!!!

Dude, I don't think it would be a good idea...the heavy snowfall warning is until the morning. Are you sure you can't borrow someone's car at least?

Besides the fact you can look outside and see the snow and wetness,

That was at 6:30pm and chances are its gotten worse since, the logical thing to do would be not drive a bike in this weather essp on the highway.

Wouldnt chance it, unless you wanted to end up beside him.

Get a friend/family to drive you out there.

Dude, it was hard in my G35 with traction control at 60kms an hour. I would not chance it, however, i understand your situation.

But I still wouldnt chance it.

Well after a huge fight and after everything that was said on here he still left. He's very close to his uncle. His uncle isn't going to live very long 48-72 hours.

This is his girlfriend by the way.

Sure if you want to be along side him, that way i think you can even get a free ride there.

On a more serious note, that's possibly the dumbest decision you can make man, ask for a ride, even from beyond wouldve been a better option.

Greyhound would have definitely been a better solution, It's unfortunate he wouldn't heed anyones advice, hopefully everything turns out ok though.

Hello guys!

Just to let you know he rolled into golden 10mins ago. The trip took roughly 5hours!

And the bike is still in one piece

it was obviously ment to be for him to see his uncle one last time cuz i didn't like the roads even in my civic tonight. They were bad and thats not exaggerating I was hydropanning all over the place. I can't believe your bf risked it. When he gets back count your lucky stars he made it. Especially in the very late evening.
