Reminds me of a trip a year ago to visit some friends in the California Sierras. On a twisty mountain road near Lake Tahoe we got caught in a snap hail storm that was so heavy that our CRV started sliding around. We pulled over in a spot that had a wide enough turnout. A state highway snowplow pulled up to see if we were ok, and led us to a covered parking area for road equipment where we could sit out the worst of it. While we were waiting, we saw a guy on an R1200GS chugging his way through the hail like it was nothing. I couldn't trust my eyes on that one!
