Your riding the ducati in the snow? With your record dude, I'd be riding the trashed r6 everytime.

Riding a Ducati in the snow should be made a criminal offence. ____________________ My Flickr |

I rode my DL1000 in the snow today for the first time, but I walked the road first to see if the compacted snow was turning to ice. It was so I walked back to my bike and rode on the virgin stuff, I eased off waay before the junction and let it roll to a stop.
TBH the hardest part of today was getting it on and off the drive as at 225Kg I was struggling to get it upright off the side-stand as my left foot kept slipping.
Still I'm glad I got home in one piece and didn't drop it, but I'm sorry to hear your bad news.  ____________________ My claim to fame: Austin Vince nicked my pen... |

Was pretty lethal out on the roads today, my entire street was covered by one huuuge length of black ice which was interesting to ride over.... then went to fill up with petrol as I needed some only to find once I got to the garage that the key slot in my petrol cap was packed full of ice got back home ok though. |

My mate is at RAF Benson, I've mailed him and he hasn't come back yet, maybe his keyboard is frozen

My truck has a roller shutter to secure the bed, my tools are in the bed... the roller shutter has frozen solid and I can't open it
Coldest I've seen on the trucks thermometer was -5... sure it's been colder though. ____________________ Current Toys: 06 Yamaha WR250F | Nissan 350Z GT | Tech 4 Homes |
