100 mile journey - M1 icy?

[Snorty]

I am to decide whether to do a 100 mile journey on the m1. In the next 30 mins. Will the motorway be safe or is there likely to be black ice? Won't be going nuts just 70.

Do it, they've prolly gritted it.

Don't be a tool and die.

inb4: I dunno what I was worried for.

[pdg]

I've gone more than 100 miles in snow and ice for a decent sandwich.

Man up....





(If you crash and die, it's not my fault.)

I wouldn't have thought there would be ice on the M1 however I am not taking responsibility and if you do go and die don't blame me.

[Nobby the Bastard]

To be frank, if there is ice on the M1 it's 6 feet deep and the whole country has been broght to a standstill.

I wouldn't worry about motorways, but the roads you have to do at either end are probably more important to think about.

I wouldn't recommend it. Your braking will be degraded in these temperatures, you get some idiot pulling out on you or slamming their brakes on and you'll be slippy sliding.

Will OP reply?

I wouldn't if it's just to meet some milf for Friday night delight.

Tonight is especially cold I stuck a hot water bottle in my jacket and used any time sat at the lights to get my hands toasty it is going to be a long night.

OP is currently sat warm on a coach, got the last one just in time. Witnessed a patch of water turn into ice earlier which put me off. Also running racetecs. This also worked out cheaper than the fuel I'd have used / bike I'd have trashed. Unfortunately forgot to remove my bike boots when I changed my mind so now I'm sat on the coach in them. Maybe I can make bike noises and pretend my hands are freezing.

P.S. no milfs

Majority of offs in this weather are right at the start or at the end of your journey. Just as you turn into your street and WHAM, you're on the floor wondering how much a new mirror and clutch level will cost.

I can't even get the fucking bike down the drive when it's icy, our rural village doesn't get gritted and it's like a skating rink even if the main roads are fine.

Wonder if you'll see more gritters than other traffic.

It'll be really quiet therefore the speed limit doesn't apply. Have fun.

Bit late, but was absolutely fine from Doncaster way (I was in a van) - did have a little snow going south, but didn't last.
