I am and it's certainly not the sv's forte. CCM has semi slicks on too so I took the sv as that has the better crash bobbins!

Did see a pizza delivery ped going slowly today, but thats pretty normal for them. Not sure how he was planning to negotiate the side roads.

might have to investigate and do a Sv project with Knobblies:cheers:

see if it works!

Bike's been stuck in the garage since Monday, can't get it up the drive, all iced up. Roads are bloody fine though, if it's one thing I've noticed since moving into a different council district, they know how to grit properly! Tons of the stuff down. Walked the 6 miles to work and back (up and down vertical dale route too) the last couple of days, feeling it a bit now.

**** off. I'm not going anywhere near a bike until I sober up. Really annoyed that I have to stump up for a new tyre on the cage that was slashed by mindless vandals so I decided to take the easy option and hit the bottle. I have a feeling I'll regret this in the morning.

I am, although it was touch and go this morning after yesterdays snow but it wasn't too bad.

Had a low-speed off this morn trying to get to work. It actually happened as I tried to turn round after chickening out and deciding it was too bad! Moral of the story?!
