That's it for this year then
« on: November 28, 2009, 12:21:54 AM »
Spotted my first gritter out spreading a mixture of the saltiest gritty granules and molassess today.

Bit early, not frosty yet.  :icon_scratch:

That's the 10 away 'till May.  :crybaby2:

Sherco trials 'till the summer now.   :icon_thumright:

Shame Angus, the salt is like alien blood to jap bikes, dissolves them on contact!   :tongue2:

Messes the brakes right up.

The molasses they spread with the grit makes it stick to the bike even more, and the road is almost just as slippy as  ice with that sugary shit all over it.

Never mind, by easter you'll be drifting the 10 like a motogp god  :icon_thumright:

get some acf 50  to protect your bike over winter,,
and get some gore tex to keep you warm and dry.
learn to ride in the winter helps to ride it loose in summer

Mine has been tucked up in the garage since the end of October. I really should get round to cleaning the flies off it though...
The ER6N makes much more sense in this weather. Mmmm. Heated grips.
