Default Re: looks like its getting to that time of year

The only day I didnt ride last winter was the monday when the snow was falling. Bu the next day, the snow had metled enough that I could ride to london form brighton.

Still, wasnt great to come round a rundabout near chessington to find then that snow was in my lane, I've never ha to put so much blind fatih in my tyres before to tighten my line

As it goes, that single ride is one of my favorite 3 hours in the saddle ever. I felt like I was riding in canada or finland, not the UK. It really was a beautiful day

one of my last memorys of riding in snow was on my little GP100 and yep you guessed it lol i loosed the throttle and the carb had frozen open so i couldnt stop lol for a moment it was indeedy a brown trouser moment and the only way of stopping was killing the ignition.
