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.

Looks cool, but way to dangerous for my liking lol! Scorpion looks mint as well!

Re: DRZ in the snow
 

Now that looks like fun !!!!
can i have a go..

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
 

I am just jealous, because it looked like fun. You have way more snow than us up narf at the moment!

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 :rolleyes:

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 :p

Re: DRZ in the snow
 

I dont mind dude, hi-jack away.
You've obviously got more balls than me and more grip, i had zero traction.

Re: DRZ in the snow
 

Looks fun :) knobblies would be more fun

I so wish i'd got my CR125 road legal this summer, I could have been sliding down our highstreet on it today :cool:

Re: DRZ in the snow
 

LOL

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 :D

Pics coming up when ive worked out how to get them off me damn iphone!
