Could always just purchase a cheap p.o.s 125 to use on the snow to get to work? Light to pick up if dropped and not expensive to fix

make sure your boots have some decent tread so when the bike "does" slip you have a better chance of getting grip on ure feet to hold the bike up

Good plan, all our busses are in the yard today because they cant get out and the majority of the drivers cant get through... It's my day off, which is a good thing because theres not a chance in hell of me taking the SV and the car's stuck...

Might see if the old CG125 will start, that could be my transport for the next few days.

IF I can get a bike out the back yard and down through three gates, it ain't icy or snowed in enough.



Today is not a good day! Can't see the Zzzrr, and the shed ramp has disappeared.

Well I only fell off the 125 once, good fun but most of my time was spent trying to help clueless cagers who think the throttle is a On/Off switch, then they usually blaim the car

I had a Yamaha Aerox, tyres pretty much the same size as the SV, full grip, mega lean, knee sliders all the way.
