Riding in the snow!!

Just thought you guys might like to see some pic's of me on my way to work. Only took 2 as it was that cold I didn't want to take my gloves off to operate the camera. It's my only transport!!

Ive been looking forward in my car but actually been moving sideways a few times this week. Surely I speak for more then myself when I say I never even thought about taking it out this week but it is my first week with a bike and not exactly novice weather.

Hows the zxr coping in the snow?

She seems to be coping fine. No problems with engine running (carb icing etc) but I ain't doing more than 30mph. The tyres have given me better grip than I expected. Not been leaning it over and been going slow round corners. The slushy stuff is the worst, but I just try and stay in the cleared bit's on the road.

The only problem I have found is getting going. The road at the end of my street has a slight hill and the back tyre spins up too easily. The back end of the bike then slips to the side and is a nightmare. Once on the main roads, it's been ok.

It's not advised, but it can be done.

Your a mentalist!

Credit to the all weather biking community....

I hate icey roads but snow is a no go for me, well done!

Ill ride in just about any weather, if i really have to.

Glad to see the weathers not putting you off!

I'll ride in a s**t storm but if its ice i wont even think about getting it out.

Hi,

Fair play to ya mate, join the club





I know my back wheel has been powdercoated white but this just takes the piss!
15 mile ride home in snow that deep. I was called a crazy nutter by everyone at work

It makes you concentrate though, doesn't it? I was absolutely knackered when I got off the bike!

In 2007 I did about 15 miles in 6" of snow after getting caught out at work. I think that was actually better than the melted snow and ice we've had most of this week...

[simmo]

yep i had to as well.









its not been the best weather for 2 wheels, but was certainly interesting.

The worst thing is when you a riding along and you have a car right up your butt. You know if you fall off he/she ain't gonna be able to stop in time. Also when the trucks go past the other way you get a coating of slush. when your visor freezes and you have to ride with it up is also a nightmare, you get nose bungees frozen to your cheeks!!

you lot are off your fuckin heads!!
