I am loving the weather

[JakeyR]

It's shite, freezing cold and slippy as fuck, foggy so you can't see 50 yards in front but for some reason i can't stop riding like a wanker and chuckling to myself every time i do, i fookin love it.

My bikes running fucking ace because of all the cold air, its mega slippy and i have a shitty Dunlop Sportmax on the back so it just goes sideways its ace fun, only thing is i cant feel my hands after 2 mins, my fault for wearing MX gloves.

[MaybeGuy]

same!
although in my case i kind of have to because with carb icing and stuff i cant let the revs fall below about 3k

Went out today for the first time since I binned it a month ago - and I was riding like a right pussy!!! Need to get me some more miles in I reckon.

[binge]

My pit bike Drifts around roundabouts too. And I'm running a Michelin Pilot Sport on the rear!

LED headlight means I cant see shit.
My MX gloves dont offer any wind protection either!
Nor does my MotoX helmet. Its like Face Freeze Mode.


Good fun though.

Although I do prefer the summer.

I had a bit of a moment on the BROS the other night when riding on the IDR, gave it a handfull off the lights cue flailing legs as It went completely sideways, was a giggle.

Also got a dunslip sportmax on the back of my S4 and a worn out pirelli dragon on the front, pretty lethal combination so far

Visibility isnt the worst thing about fog, the fact that it freezes you in minutes is the worst bit...

Of course if you've got a BWM or Pan European complete with heated helmet, jacket, socks, gloves, trousers and cock warmer you'll obviously only have visibility to worry about.

It's all about man and machine against the elements! Bring it on! GRRR!

Yeah theres a real sense of achievement when you get home having kept it shiny side up and its great when you go round mini round-a-bouts or leaves on bends and the back slides out and you recover it, shite when the front goes though!

First winter for me so its definately interesting, hopefully meaning a better rider at the end of it all. Seem to be learning to ride all over again mind. Wasn't too fond of it coming back from the NEC today though, cold wasn't in it.

[jingeroo]

As a spectacools (yes cool) wearer, this weather is shite as i find i'm pulling over every ten minutes to give em a wipe. With a misty visor and specs its hard to even see what colour the traffic lights are on. And contacts aren't an option as my eyes aren't the right shape, or so they say. Its a nightmare at 5 in the mornin.

[LeeR]

Clean them with Bob Heath visor spray to keep them de-misted, but only if they're un-coated lenses.

if your eyes arent the right shape, then you can get astimatism lenses???

[5v3d3b0]

I find the spormax to be a v.good tyre, at least on the rs...

[kawakid]

As a biker I hate this weather.

But having a dog who needs a long walk every day.

I love walking on the crisp hard ground, crunching leaves as I walk through the woods and everything looking so pretty.

Taken yesterday.

I dropped it twice trying to drift round a sheet ice mini roundabout tonight

And my mate on the scoot jumped to the seat to wheelie and slipped off the back and ghostied it. Winter is made of fucking win.

[Doovy]

the only thing i think i need are bar mufflers unfortunately, the rest of my body doesnt get cold on my hour journey, but my hands are freezing after abount half an hour... with winter gloves (forgot the make, but they are called Enforcers) and undergloves
