What is everyone using as there winter wheels? - nickodemon - 09-02-13

Thought i would start a post to see what everyone is using as there winter wheels, apart from the car! My mint fazer is locked away for the winter and my current winter wheels is an Aprilia falco with 33000 miles. i was out the other day and turned up at the pub i usually go to after a spin and everyone was shaking there head at me because there was snow and ice... You can't beat blatting along country roads with snow as far as the eye can see on a booming v twin. The roads were clear of snow, as i ain't that mad! What you using and why?

Every day to work and back, 26 mile a day, regardless of weather. Weight went up over 22 stone, lost over 5 stone in two years cycling..

whats the hyosung like?????

Re: What is everyone using as there winter wheels? - Kosmic Kartman - 11-02-13

Can't speak for others (Hyosungs) but this has been absolutly brilliant as a work hack. Starts every morning, has never missed a beat and the only thing that's fallen off so far is the rubber ring that goes around the tax disc. :lol

I've had it three years now. Done 4,000 miles. I get to do the service work and stamp the book myself. I can order parts (shims, gaskets, clutch lever when I dropped it, oil filters and O rings) from home off the Barrus Dealer Website at supplier prices and they arrive within a few days at work. I work for a Barrus Dealer so I got the bike really dirt cheap aswell through our rep.

I had to respray the exhaust pipe last year but that's about it.

My winter wheels is the bus. Can't wait to get the FZ1S out of hibernation. I work 10 miles away from home. Do you think I could cycle that distance with not riding a bike since I was 17? I am now 34 and with just under 14 stone.

If so how long do you think it will take me?
