Anyone else silly enough to ride a bike into work today?

Only really pikey 'Sunny' ones on steel rims. It means I will also have
a spare now for the Mazda 6 instead of relying on a pump and goo.

Nige,

'Candygram for Mongo'

R1

 

It snowed last Friday night in Bedford then stayed below zero all day
but I managed to do 300 miles in the day.

These are perfect conditions for honing my cold weather riding
techniques before the winter starts properly. I'll be trying to get
some different tyres fitted on Saturday so I can throw a few studs in
them and go mental.

 

TOG@Toil wibbled forthrightly:

I worked from home, so the answer's no. Mind you, it's been a superb
day, albeit a tad cold.

 

Had vredesteins on the Volvo - Snowtracs, I think they were. Not sure
what's on the R36, TBH, but it'll be a more specialisecd one, on 17"
rims, with rim protection to spare the winter alloys. TBH I suspect
the difference between different makes is insignificant cmopared to
the summer/winter tyre diff, IYSWIM.

Hehe. Round here, of course, they're almost the norm, but even so many
folk drive stupidly cautiously. I too enjoy overtaking long lines at
full throttle.

Not sure I'd go that far. Even in Alpine countries it's not a rule as
such - just that some roads, in some conditions, require you to have
'suitable' equipment, which may just be chains.

That's something you just don't see here, TBH. But I think that's more
to do with them (big trucks) not being used on many smaller roads, and
local trucks all having proper tyres on them.

 

But it will take many of these 20mph twats off the road and dissuade the
more competent but Pikey cunts, leading to more useable roads for me. Me.
Meh.

Every single winter snow the first thing that happens here is trucks
blocking the major roads, so yes we really need it. It's £400 on top of the
cost of running a truck ffs.

 

I forgot to re-edit. I have the rest of it, but the crack in the frame
put it off the road for a few months. It's not it bad nick otherwise.
It's the same as the old UKRM slutbike - the one in the vid of Lozzo
drifting about in a field.

 

You have got some spare wheels with studded tyres for that KTM? ;-)

 

I saw three bikes / scooters as I crawled towards Debden in the GT this
morning. Bloody lunatics.

Are you just off Tottenham Court Road?

Home! One and a half hours. Winter trials riding, basically. Suzuki
GN250s rock in the snow: soft engine, no weight, low seat, and the
steering lock of a dirt bike.

Never seen gridlock like it.

 

Nah. Shoreditch.

 

Miles away, then.

.... and that's all I got from Bank to Heron Quays.

From there it was like entering a winter wonderland.

 

I've got the District Line and Waterloo mainline a couple of hundred
yards round the corner.

 

Erect?

 

I was under the impression that you lived somewhere nice.

 

I drove over to Leeds from Bolton today and never saw a single flake of
falling snow.

A little bit had been sprinkled around during the night, but **** all to get
excited about.

 

With all this Global Warming, probably no need now
