only passed me car test in 2001, but from 86 till then i was a seven dayer 52 weeks of the year,rider,and no mistake.

all my bikes,the prob with the wing is the snow sticks to the screen,so you have to stand traily stylee,

man got me r1 in 2003,rode it home in snow,snow on the roads 3 inchs worth,the previous owner was shocked when i turned up to get her that day!.

pissing rain on the autoroute,120 and rear wheel-spins for 120 yrds

me and a fellow blaster on me busa,him on zx9r ,mental.

but fogs the real fucker,mist in your lid,on the visor,drips in your eyes,and no one gives a fuck about some kamikazee biker in the fog,with no fog lamp on.

scary moment on the motorway in snow ,missus on the back of the wing,riding on the fresh,and mister truck behind looses it about 50yrds behind,on the compact ice tramways,gives a toot,so i moved into the invisible hard shoulder,while trucky rear ends the car that was in front of me at about 20, ,thanks trucky, he pushed the car about twenty foot past me as they slid like ice cubes on a wet bar.

be carefull,ive ridden and can ride in the shite,but to be fair,it fucks your bike,your lid,clothes,and could fuck you,so i dont do as much,because i have the option just now.

ride safe,dont get caught!

its not big and not clever to summit youve survived yet another winter,on two wheels,theres alot too look out for extra, slippy greasy roads (if they ever dry out cause of the safecoat they apply),and dusty slippy when there dry, car drivers with steamed up windows who dont lookout for the push/motor cyclist, cak cold weather,(oh yes you can wrap up with 4tons worth of warm gear,only for it to start to ming after a few wet ones,just like your (built to a price bike),and the go slows on the roads as emergency stops more than double with the conditions.(when youl most need to do em).so if you do ride the winter months,good for you,i did for years and years,yes it does give you more of an understanding of the road,but you could wet it out and learn in the warmer summer wet days,
when you only have the basic shite weather to act on, and by the end of the week your steed will still be there,and not a pile of brown and white efflourecense,.

cant wait all the same tho!
