so what does everyone do re. bike riding over winter when there are no track days and the roads are wet / covered in shite salt ?

does anyone ride off road or green lane or maybe it's pushbike time perhaps ? or is everyone a virtual biker on Playstations etc learning track skills for next year 

[MajicKwak]

None of the above, I just keep on riding regardless of weather conditions.

Saw 104 mph in the worst of the snow last year.


Stupid or Brave?



Yeah probably the previous.

doing a trackday on the 25th of nov .... will keep riding as long as salt off the road..... other wise you will see me tearing up the road in the motor

i got hit by a car in February 2001....doing 180kms  .......my bike goes into storage halloween night  and I'll see it again sometime in April....woke up to frost on the roads 2 days in a row

was a bit gutted you couldn't get over this year Frank  if you do plan to come any time remember you can stay at mine, 

[doug_zx10r]

The only thing that stops me is ice, and even that is debatable.  Slush stops me filtering at times, but it's surprising how many good, dry days there are in the winter.  I consider myself a biker with a car, rather than a car driver with a bike as a hobby.

[GRNINJA]

cool mate , like I say would be good to have you over.... i'll even let you take the bike out .... you bend it and i'll have 5 and half grand

I'll be riding during the winter,  mostly not on the 10 though 

Won't be doing the ice & slush thing though, been there, done that, had the gravel rash ! 

Older, wiser & wealthier these days, so can afford a car & have the sense to use it when experience tells me to.   

[fido]

Use mine on dry days untill they start gritting....then it goes into hibernation
