I'm in So Cal also and never have to worry about driving in snow, rarely
even rain. I worry about losing traction from something completely
different. Road Oil!!! There is no avoiding having your front wheel
constantly riding in the center of the lane where all the cars drip
their leaking oil. At least on a 2 wheel motorcycle you can pick a side
and avoid it. I've only driven in the rain a few times but when I did
and hit the brakes hard a few times the front wheel skipped and slid a
little. Not really a vehicle you want to drive in rain or snow unless
it's low speed.
