Nutter or legend.... you decide

Are we talking about the biker ..... or you driving and taking a photo ??

Personally i wouldn't take the risk of damaging the SV ...... but if you're prepared to go slow enough, and prepared to drop the bike, then crack on !!

Only form of transport for me is the SV (Well, or the CBR, but no way that's going out in this...). I set off for work yesterday...then stopped when I got 1/4 mile down the road when my phone was ringing. Work closed. Same today. Getting paid for it. Bonus!

After it taking almost 20 mins and 2 strapping young men to help me get off my driveway and out of the road I drove to work to be sent home again as we`re only doing priority 1 house calls and those will be based within a small radius of where I live.

Yeah I only have the bike.
Only came off once this winter snow far

Roads are basically clear now, but car parks and side roads are ice rinks..

Up here we seem to be getting off lightly compared to you Southeners
