Riding On Snow and Ice

Post by Jamz »

I just wrote a blog to give you nutters who are still riding a few tips:

I think I've covered just about everything, there? Hopefully it'll keep you safe!

(but if it's like today, leave it at home!)
Who needs tyres when you've got knees!! :twisted:

Nice post there, I was unfortunately unlucky enough to come of in the ice though, following my mates back in their car and where there wheels were spinning it chucked it onto the channel of clear road I was riding down, not much choice so had to just relax and let it go, more pissed of about my leathers getting scuffed and my 'mates' not coming and giving me a hand :smt011 does sliding of in the snow still count as a crash? :smt017

Didn't start but I had been riding back at low revs with the heated grips on so the battery was low, I had crash bungs on it so that took the damage out of it, other than the crash hung, small scrape on the exhaust and footpeg needs tightening, ive just got new tyres, discs and pads for it so need to check through everything when I fit them
