Riding on snow/ice
Is it a good idea to take the bike for a winter ride?
I never tried it but I sure like to try - back side is that I don't want to buy new plastic due to a low sider. Is it something to try at all or is it better to leave the bike in the garage? /Joel

My advice would be stay off the bike. It will end up on its side and if that is not appealing then don't crash for the sake of it.. |

Great fun in the snow with the right bike which can take the falls but not the Tenere. I wouldnt risk my travel bike on the ice as it took me a while and lots of hard earned cash to get it just as I like it.
If I had a crosser then I would be out in the snow messing around

I have parked up my XTX until the snow & ice goes as well. There is nothing to be gained from me smashing my pride and joy up. I will wait. It better clear up soon, my MOT is due mid January.

When I had my bike, I went out for a hairy ride with a bird on a fazer and she video it (
the ride that is... the rest is not for your eyes)
Rinding in the snow/ice/traffic & sh*t Watch the bit near the end, with a red van, first we got lost cause the sat nav took us to a cul de sac which it reckoned was a through-road and instead now was all new houses, then she decides she will lead, because she knew the way, at one points she sits behind a red van, causing me to fall asleep, I was bored stiff and since I have never been one to hang about specially behind vans, I flew past them, saying latersssssssss!
