Crap, the snow has hit us

[kingsknight]

It's fine though, I'm quite used to riding in the snow now.

Same in Southampton. Probably won't be riding in it but I have to figure out a way of getting back home to Essex for Christmas Probably end up taking the train...10 miles on snow I could deal with, but 100 is a bit much.

To get to Essex, you have to pass through West & East Sussex and Kent...where we have MUCHO snow...!!!

Yeah that would be a right trek in the snow! Thin tyres suck in the snow!

It seems here (Cambridge) is one of the few places to not have much snow.

It snowed the other day and theres still some about but it was only about half an inch.

Got some in Manchester, but the roads are slushed up already, and I gritted the drive last night in preparation, so there are no worries.

Main roads seem to be gritted and fine. The only problem are the back roads where the snow has been compacted into ice...nothing to cut through. Not done any riding today but I have got my RXS back in one piece after having the footpeg welded back on

Have you see the tyres on a off roader? You want as much traction as you can get, for that you want big tyres!

no snow here in chesterfield today thank god, we had more than our fair share a few weeks back, was over 2 feet thick in open areas and drifts were 3 times that, it's still not melted fully yet either

Oh and thin tyres are 100 times better than fat ones, used the cg the other week and it was epicly better than the 400 in the thick stuff, fatter tyres may be better on ice but not snow
