I dont particuarly know why, maybe its the wheel spins and drifting, but does anyone else kind of enjoy riding in the snow? Or is it just me being weird? Very Happy

Yes, I used to think it was great fun on both the 50 & 125cc...but since those days, I've not really seen any decent snow...but then I have lived in the south for 12years!!!!

(NB. I was travelling in winter 2005, so wasn't here for the snow)

No I didn't. No longer have a small bike I don't care too much about. But did have some fun in the car...

Rode in it last month, but not today. Too dangerous, too newer biker, plus its the wrong type of bike.

I'd like to ry it if I had a complete shitter but I wouldnt fancy it on anything of any worth or weight. Big fat back wheel, 150 odd RWHP and 215kg's dry combined with a significant (for me) financial investment means its a no go for me Sad
