I win

Tried to get rid of them today but the back end decided to take it a little too far I'm guessing it was more to do with the edges of the tyre being cold rather than the road

I noticed this yesterday, things felt a little 'off' when i was hitting the corners. So much so that i had to stop to check if I had a flat tyre

Dry roads so I was pushing it a bit more than i have been for a few weeks, can dry road salt have an effect on grip? My tires are covered in the stuff on the edges just like yours.

Not got a pic of mine but the rear just has a 3" wide stripe down the centre and the rest is just white with salt

Surprised really as it's dry today so I did rag it around a bit, did have a couple of slides coming out of bends though

Yup, deffo a bit slippy in Cambridge, there's loads of patches in town of what looks like diesel but isn't, at least there's no rainbow effect from it. Someone told me it was -18 last night

My tyres are currently square Not much knee down opportunity as it is up the A40 & A406

-12 in Norfolk on Tuesday apparently. Think that's as low as it's been this year, at least in England. -18 would be mental. Coldest I;ve felt is -15, in 2010 was it? Damn that was nippy.

-15? Luxury!
'Coldest I've ever been was while taking refuge in a womans public lav, halfway up a welsh mountain on a freezing November night. Fully clothed, with lid on, in a sleeping bag, wrapped around the toilet and shaking like a shaky thing on the concrete floor. 'Just got to sleep and was awoken a few minutes later by the local police flashing torches in our eyes. They just left us there to die

I live near Norwich airport and the weather there overnight apparently dropped down to -11.
Felt pretty bitter when I went out on my mountain bike today, there is a solid 3 inches of ice on my road so I can't see that I'm going to be using my motorbike for a while.
