I know I wouldn't. Out at lunch time and saw a big bore Honda at the lights, couldn't believe my eyes, he had just negotiated an ice packed road. He pulls off slowly and gets around the bend no problem at all, I heard the car behind wheel spin and nearly lose it - powers not everything Shocked

My lid off to your sir.

I HAD to do it on my Bandit 600 (once) about 11 or 12 years ago.

There wasn't much (1 inch maybe) and I made it all my way to my mums before losing the back end going up the driveway and fighting for 20-30 seconds trying not to drop it.

Great fun off-road I'd imagine (on a suitable bike) but I'll keep my sensible head on for the cat and the snow.........she's snug as a bug in the garage (with about 2ft of snow everywhere)

Cheers

Same here. 4 wheels and a heater is my current choice. A fellow worker who took 1 1/2 hours to get to work today said he may bike it tomorrow.

But he has a BM trails bike and bigger gonads than me. lachen

I'm hoping to get my trail bike going again in time to 'enjoy' the snow. Wouldn't go out on the Cat though!

I biked into work on Wednesday - it was snowing but hadn't settled - and it was freezing and a little too icy for me . I only did it as I didn't have use of the car .But I'm driving from now on - well until the snow goes, soooo much more comfortable Very Happy
