No, not navigation fail, just stupidity. This is why I'm staying in Norway this weekend.

Be careful out there kids, yes there are people who are that stupid. Similarly:

You're in Norway? Aw no fair I spent last christmas in Norway and was amazed at how well that country copes in snowfall higher than I am.

ms51ves3: why does it need 500 miles? Are you teaching it how to be a piston?

Looks like he'd managed to drive on the ice for a good distance.

No mention of that idiot pensioner (snow-covered windscreen) being given anything other than a ice scraper.. Such laziness and stupidity should have been punished more severely. You can see that the wipers had stalled because of the snow, but it also shows that the snow would have been easy to wipe off by hand.

Lax policing. The driver was treated with great sympathy, as if they were the victim. Why was that?

Seen plenty of other people out on bikes. Ok, suspect I was the only one ENJOYING the first lot of snow before Christmas – well, actually I suspect the sports bike I saw that was still managing to make progress was probably glad that he could get home hours earlier. Some people out the next day and pretty much everyday since then too.
For the non-snowy bits, there are still plenty of people that prefer to adjust the kit and riding style they use, than get stuck in traffic, pay to park in inconvenient places and further contribute to congestion .

Before I got my latest bike, would often see a Polish GSXR1000 (05-08) commuting enthusiastically on the same route I took.

Good idea on the poll Alexio.

I've been riding every day in the snow. It's not that bad...

Almost dropped it a 'couple' of times...

It gets boring fairly quickly .

Took the GSXR out a week on Tuesday ago to the shops when we again had loads of snow, carried on a bit further. Coming back got rather tedious, paddling the bike at an average of 2mph, with it going sideways a lot of the time.

Was ok on the KTM, but both times I didn't have anything better to be doing, would have been more annoying if I was trying to get from A to B.

Riding in snow is still a good laugh, would prefer to do it on a shitter though.....

And getting from A to B in a nightmare.
