Title: Brit instructor dumps it on ice
Post by: Stig / Major Tom on December 30, 2020, 05:24:40 PM

I ride in all kinds of cold, wet and wintry conditions - but not with the road frosted - or likely to be frozen.
It will catch up with you.
Fortunately he was just poking along.

You cold always use spiked tires like in ice racing.

Black ice.  It catches you out when you’re least expecting it as I discovered with my Ninja 900R

When I was young I use to ride my motorcycle on solid ice to school before I got a car, a 1972 Yamaha DT-2 250 Enduro.  My riding buddy had a 1975 Suzuki TS- 185 Enduro. We lived on those bikes year around and rode in all kinds of adverse weather.

Today I don't trust my balance or reaction time enough to try that. Add to the fact my bones are not as forgiving as a young man's.
