Well, I may be crazy but I took the Konker uptown and filled it up with gas. Still tons of ice and snow out, but the roads are for the most part clear. It rode really well, but I can see that I have to make a few adjustments (like the rear brake!). Managed to get it up to fourth gear even

. I was going to throw the enduro tires on it, but it has some kind of a crazy hex key front axle, guess I will have to pick up a large metric hex key set at Canadian Tire. Surprised me how good it was on the ice in the alley and front street... I think that is due to it's light weight as I wouldn't dare take the Shadow out on the ice. So, only a couple of kilometers, but my first ride on it nonetheless. Got lots of grins from guys in trucks... They probably think I'm nuts!
