Would You ?

No thanks don't think I would be riding my bike in this sort of weather.Always think you should only see snow on Christmas cards and calendars.

On a road bike......Nope! The years of discretion are upon me!

As a 23yr old I used to ride my trail bike in the snow but even then learnt a hard lesson hitting sheet ice under a layer of snow.

Right now, with snow falling outside, I am pondering the wisdom of having recently sold my Subaru.......

 

I don't have a garage but just seeing your bike covered in snow going to ask my daughter if I can put my motorbike in her garage over winter.

Nah....not me mate
I would say just about everyone riding in snow does so because they have no choice

 

All weathers me, commute 60 miles each day.
So long as I can get on the bus route which is salted and then on the motorway then no problem.

A liberal coating of Scottoiler 365 and a regular clean/service of the brakes etc.

I would much prefer to ride in the snow than take the train into work

 

Last time I rode in the snow was in 1980 on my FS1E to my job at International Supermarket. It was about 2 Feet deep snow, kept falling off......what a laugh........aahhh ! those were the days.

 

Last time I rode in the snow was 1981 on my little DT125 oh the joy of being young
(Blast from the past)

Trail bikes are a proper giggle in the snow, sharpens the skills perfectly, last one I had was a KLR 250 and yes I dropped it, embarrassingly within sight of home after a 10 mile commute.

 

Last time I rode in snow was in 1996 on my new Bandit 1200 on the way to college - bit of a handful !!!

I was young and stupid then - now just stupid !!!!

 

No snow here, just cold and wet!
Arran has a nice snow cap though.

 

Oh! Don’t B*W’s have a snow mode??

Or is that “no!” mode

 

Snow what snow?

 

You are not wrong there Gary! Mine was terrible - mind you if the frame had been made of rope it might have flexed less!

 

The only reason this got all the way up there was it was delivered by van and I lived only 8 miles away!

 

Last time I rode in the snow I was a lot younger and a keener to ride in any weather. These days I pick and choose when to ride and in what weather. This is of course unless on a GMU when there are no choices other than bloody wet!!!!
