> I'm taking my '90 Westy MV up to Tahoe for my first snow > trip. Any comments from experiences list members about chains > vs. cables and any other 'driving in snowy conditions' tips? 1. Cables are better than chains. 2. Drive slow. 3. Stop slow. 4. Turn slow. 5. Start slow. 6. The main thing to remember in snow and ice: Slow, Slow, Slow, Slow, Slow!!! By slow I mean drive as though you had a raw egg between your foot and the brake and your life depended on not breaking the egg... Bill Davidson 90 Westy Syncro Truckee / Lake Tahoe |
