riding in snow?

[stensg]

Long story short I need to use my bike to get anywhere for a week starting tomorrow. This its the worst I'll have to ride in for about a block till I get to good roads.

any tips/pointers are welcome. tire pressure? I'm sure I'll be dragging my feet the whole way. Unfortunately I have to leave the house at 5am every morning temps should be about 10°F.[mad]

Only thing I can think of, besides dragging your feet and taking it easy, is trying to get on snow and not just the ice (if possible).

Steady as she goes, captain!

Don't touch that front brake!

Run a gear higher than u normally would less torque! Good luck

Get some good tires ....

lol

Well ****, the tire has a flat enough spot you should be good!

But really, ive had to ride in roads like that before. Just keep her straight, hover the clutch to use for gas, and keep your hand away from the front brake! Dont worry about anyone else if they are behind you, they can wait or pass on the side.

Lmao all joking aside, just take it slow and be especially careful when turning. Remember hitting your brakes will most likely just make you go faster on ice lol

Why does that guy hate his BMW so much??

 

[mtnmason]

put a sidecar on it and you'll have a blast....er....uh...... rather an 1125 with a sidecar!


seriously though - I saw a guy on a Ural a few years ago cruising thru about 10". Looked like he was havin' a ball.

Personally - I guess I wouldn't have the balls. Or maybe its just that I don't have the cash to replace parts that don't need to be risked. YMMV - good luck

Try some wheelies
