But the tubes weren't working in the snow!

and your a dizzy blonde so how thick are they

And then he decides to rev her up and do a donut in the snow and ice cos his back tyre will be fine on that , what if it had gripped and took off again , he`d have felt a right charley hunt then wouldn`t he . I ride in all weathers and came off my SV the beginning of this year due to Black Ice , if I saw visible Ice like that I wouldn`t have bothered going to work and would have called in and booked the day off .

Why would he even attempt that. It's dangerous enough in the car at the moment.

I used the tube the first 3 days of last week (well, not the Monday, but I tried to) because of the snow/ice on the ground.

But don't be fooled; I was back on as soon as I felt the ground had been salted enough on the main roads. I actually had to get a spade and dig my way from the garage to the main road (garage down a side road) so I wasn't riding over ice, on Thursday morning.

No pretences: the tube is HELL ON EARTH

Best thing is with the way he plays when he picks it up its like he just dont care

Is it something to do with the freezing point of diesel?

Agreed, but i would extend that to all public transport. I have caught the bus this week and have developed a rash and some mild depression.

Sad thing is he may well have that much money that he does not really care

I dont think he's playing, looks out of control to me. Looks like he slams the back end into the kerb as he's spinning around

My first thought was this was a set up?
