Yeah, I've done that before too. Problem is it gets dirty so quickly.

Never seems to hold up. Evidently that paint is not very UV tolerant. One sunny day and it’s shot. |

How will you know if you got all of the snow / ice off of it?

That would normally be pretty odd down in this neck of the woods, but this is our "new" place this past Feb.
 I've been in the Houston area since Jan 1995. In that time, we've had a decent amount of snow (thorough covering of the ground) 3-5 times, and an ice storm a couple of times. Christmas Eve 2004, I believe, we had several inches of snow all over South Texas. This past winter, we had a fair amount of snow AND crazy cold (for us) temps (single digits). Most of the rest of the times, it's been temps 20-32 and just a thin layer of snow/ice here and there, and least, for places that I've been.

My 78SC is all/triple black....It would look good on the white drive.
And there goes the salt truck down the road....

We were playing a round of golf when a very rare snowfall took place. You could see a line when the golf ball went on the green, like in a televised golf tournament. It was very cool.

^^^ There were many days that I rode my mc to school with snow on the road. (early 70's)
You quickly learn to use the brakes carefully. I never used more than a half-face shield. My hands/fingers suffered the most...would take an hour or more to thaw them out.
