riding in snow is only fun until you come off. I've stopped doing it now. Bizarrely I drove from the other side of sheffield to rotherham (don't know how far it is but some of you will know what kind of a distance it is) in really thick snow and a blizzard, yet when I went out in snow that was only a couple of inches thick and wasn't even still falling that's when I come off

Heh yeah, fortunately its not sticking today but will be extra cautious just for that little bit that will have iced up.
I've ridden in snow a few times, sounds like my experience is like yours second time out in snow on a 125 sort of slid out from under me in slow motion on a corner, went down to 1 knee but held on to it, picked it up with just the peg that scraped and carried on my way. Then with the CBR600 heading home 3 times the distance (still only 16 miles) in a blizzard, didn't drop it once, although did get it lodged in the gutter on a rural road, had to push/slide it almost 100 yards before the road slant stopped and I could move out again heh.
the things we do eh?

So i've ridden in snow and all in between with just the minor slide hiccup, then the first sunny day last year I fall off, on what? bloody dust! dried up mud! grr.
