Winter riding

[banner001]

...How many of you do it?

So far ive only been stopped from using my bike for 2 days, yesterday and today because of the ~5" of snow on the road...other than that im out in the ice, fog, rain, wind, cold and darkness of winter everyday...who else is with me?

make that 1 day...not too bad out, its actually warmer than it has been for the past month!

bit of slush, no big problem, wheeling it off the snow-packed side of the road was the hardest bit

Not on the ZXR400, only ridden it in the wet twice! It's been tucked up in the garage for about 2 1/2 months now just being doing maintenance on it and stuff, must've saved a packet on petrol. Although when I had my moped last year I rode all through the winter, really light light compared to the ZXR and didn't drop it when drifting about in the snow pretending I was a speedway driver!

only twice in the rain...for me thats "going to work" and "coming back"

petrols not that much for us, only burn through about £35 a month...so its still cheaper than a bus ticket...

Haha yes well really I only use it for fun and the occasional travel to grandparents etc, but I did something daft like 1000miles in no time after I got it and spent at least £200 in one month on petrol - what can I say, I loved riding it!

yes, i've ridden my ZXR for the last 6 years every day - even in the snow.

Only day i havent ridden in the snow is when we first got it last monday. So only one day lost to bad weather this year!

My bikes my only form of transport so come rain, snow or sun i'm out on mine.

I did 11 Winters on sportsbikes of various kinds, and looking back have no idea how I survived! ;D Good fun, but I wouldn't do it again!

I finally took and passed my car license just over a year ago, and so had the last 2 Winters on four wheels. Part of me misses riding on the snow, to be honest. Luckily I did get my last few snow rides on cam:
