Snow and sleet?

[gmanxiii]

Its supposed to have sleet falling today (although its blue skies from what i can see at the moment) and light snow tomorrow here in manchester. Anyone got any tips of dealing with it if it actually starts? Im in work at the moment and need to ride home later!?

well the only thing you ca do if you have to ride home is take it slow and make sure you have plenty of layers on, it aint fun riding in snow or for that fact anything cold, but if you are aleast warm then you can concentrate on the task at hand (Getting home safe) Earlier this year when it snowed and was like minus 6 i was wearing 3tshirts 2 jumpers and my bike jacket with my leggings and everything else. Every morning and night was a total pain in the arse but it was made more pleasant by being warm.

warmth has to be the most important aspect

Love riding in heavy snow, not so much in sleet as it tends to feel much colder.

i remember when it snowed last year and it was some of the best fun i ever had and it teaches you a hell of alot about bike control ect although it was a bit hairy at times given the slickness of my tires

Its been snowing where I live today, and I had to venture out. I've only got a 50 at the moment, (Roll on 17th birthday! ) but even just pulling away on that had the back end out most of the way, and wheels locking under very little braking. Scary as fuck. Had to go really slow round town to avoid dropping it. (Really hard to do on a 50! ) Best advice would be to go as slow as possible, brake very lightly and early so your wheels don't lock-up, and don't give it shit through the corners. Common sense really.

Lol @ the guy who recommended engine braking.

The snow must of missed me this year as I only saw a few flakes. Nothing laid.

Last year it was thick, I couldn't -
Accelerate
Brake
Engine Brake
without locking the rear, the only thing that stopped me sliding was keeping a constant speed and even then it was still sliding all over the place, albeit slightly. This was on a 125.

I was looking forward to going out on my tatty 400 though Bit sad it didn't snow really.
