[dragline]

I have rid'in in the snow before in Maryland

had to ride , the was many many years ago .
Had a 71 TR 6 Triumph , temp was 6 degree .
Rode 40 miles round trip .... with only a tee shirt & levi jacket
and a pare of knit mittens , my sister-law lent me .
Frozen grin / fingers / snot and ears .
Do a lot of crazy things when your young.
Now I own a Triumph Rocket !
I don't think I'll ever try this

Snow Riding Compilation + Dropping a Triumph Rocket x 2

To me the rockets just to heavy and would cause to much
damage dropping it , to possible yourself & your bike !

Me neither, Wayne. I don't even want to see snow, let alone try to ride in it!

Yeah I rode in snow but that was when I had my Yamaha RT1 360 and it was great fun. However I cannot see myself doing that again :y114:

I rode dirt bikes in the snow all the time when I was younger. And I fell a LOT too...LOL!

However, I never did that in a T-shirt and Levis jacket alone!!

Back in the day I had a couple of spills in wet weather on my old BSA so I was never tempted to ride my own bike in the snow.
The only time I recall riding in the winter was on a day in January when we had a thaw and the temperature was well above freezing. A friend came by and picked me up on his BSA and we went to his house for the afternoon. The roads were wet, but the riding was good. Later in the afternoon he took me home, but as we rounded a corner into the shadow of a hill where it was much cooler we hit black ice and down we went.
The only damage was to our pride :ya2:

I had my back tire slip around a little on the ice when I first purchased my speedy. That was enough for me.

Dave :blush:

I have that happen on just an oil slick. Ice? No thank you.

I rode every day through winter up until I was 26, that's when I took my car driving test!
I had a dirt bike for winter and I loved the snow!
Drop the tyre pressures to about 10 psi tighten the rim blocks and of you go.
I must admit, I fell off ALOT! :ya2:

 

[DaveM]

Yes I also found I kept falling off but it was great fun at the time

 

[CarlS]

I fell off plenty in dirt, too. But I was a tad younger then!
