Re: DRZ in the snow
Looks like you had a larf.
I went out but I'll admit we've not had any snow today so just needed to dodge the icey patches. |

Re: DRZ in the snow
I wouldnt have ventured onto the main road, my road had zero grip, knobblies would have helped a bit i think.
Good larf though My sprint is well and truly hibernating in the garage for the forseeable future, but the DRZ will be out when its reasonable. |

Re: DRZ in the snow
Cool!
I also went out in the snow today, we had about 10cms overnight. Tho i was a lil more throttle happy and ended up sliding down the road a few times! Was fine when i stopped using the front brake Did about 30 miles all in including a few lanes, and found some of the steepest (and frozen) local hills for some slippery hill-climbing action. Will post a few pics up later if you dont mind the thread hi-jack (or i will start a new thread) I ache like a biatch now tho |

I got full knobblies on the KTM but still had zero grip. Thinks i was a bit fearless coz max speed was 25/30 mph wearing full body armour+kidney belt under the RST enduro kit (also armoured and padded with thermal lining) so didnt feel a thing! A slight jerk of the right hand had the rear wheel overtaking the front as the KaTooM is a bit of an animal and likes to bite me in the ar$e. A lot. The sheer concentration and effort riding on the ice was damn tiring and the slippery lanes killed me wrists coz i was gripping the bars a bit toooo hard lol. Im still crap tho, i just love it. Possibly the best fun ive ever had on 2 wheels. I really hope it snows some more as i got a day off work too Pics coming up when ive worked out how to get them off me damn iphone! |
