Well i dont uualy do winter riding but i may as well coz everytime im out on my bike it ends up raining whether its summer, spring, autumn or winter.......i "enjoyed" 120 miles in the rain on Sunday and i fully intend on enjoying a few more rainy rides until i sorn it at the end of November.


The big thou isnt actually all that bad in the rain coz it can still pull in 6th gear at slow speeds and stay relatively dossile as long as the revs are kept down.

I will be using the Fazer 1000 or 600 for most weather,  the Serow for the snowy days and the Mazda 6 on the Icy days

I used to have an RF900. One of the main reasons I got rid of it was that it was total crap in winter. Carbs used to ice up at anything under 5c even with carb heaters and it could be seen visibly rotting away at the first whiff of salt. Bought a Gen 1 instead and been using it all year round for the last 9 years

Winter wheels? What are winter wheels? What's winter? Ah, it's the good riding season when it's not excruciatingly hot!


Here many people ride their cars in the summer because they have A/C in the car and it's just too hot on the bike. Only now you start seeing bikes in greater numbers. I did ride my bike every day, but I must admit some days at noon, not so much fun when stuck at a traffic light.

Well, not everything is perfect, but on occasion, I like to rub it in


I typically do not work on Fridays (except when I do...) and I go have lunch with my better half. She works about 20 miles from home and most of it is that road on the island between the sound and the gulf of Mexico. Can't really imagine a more pleasant ride, except if there were some turns! She gets to drive that road twice a day, maybe not as much fun for her as it is for me, but it sure beats city traffic.
