Dust it off and go! Ridden 40 miles so far today!
Make sure you wipe her off when home though! My poor bikey is absolutely CAKED in salt and grit!
Also, agree with Fester, nice bike!  |

That is pretty. Chain is slack, obviously, but at least the snow is disguising that twisted subframe a bit. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

lovely bike - needs a cover though, or a garage! I read a quote somewhere (can't remember where): "Only English people fill their garage with crap and leave their vehicle outside in the wet and cold."
Rode mine to work today and had to abandon it on top of a hill. Luckily the snow was slushy enough to clear a space on the pavement. Roads look fine now though so all good. |

You leave them outside without covers, are you mad? Will be rust buckets in no time. ____________________ KTM 990 SMT & Suzuki DR-Z 400 SM |

I would still ride it. I went to work on my ybr today, only got to the end of the driveway before i did a 360 on ice and landed in the middle of the road, bike on top of me. Damage to bike is a scratch on indicator lens and a 1 inch scratch on rear plastic.

Haha I used mine today, no problems whatsoever, only time the wheel spun was deliberate, spun it for about 100 yards going back up my street just for the fun of it, don't think I'd do it if it was as new as yours though, mines battered already so not too worried about dropping it the only thing I worry about is the engine casings, given the width of the bars I'd be surprised if the casings hit the deck though, only using it for neccesary commuting atm but once the snows a little deeper I'll go have some fun on it.
You had over 3k to spend on the dero, so your obviously not hard up, why don't you have a garage/decent shed for your bike? |
