Back in about 86 I was a courier and rode in all weathers but one of the worst scenarios was when I took a parcel to Bristol. On the way home I got to Yeovil and the snow started to get heavy. I stopped at a set of lights and promptly fell off when the front slid out from me. The biggest problem was trying to pick the bike (Honda VT500)back up, as I pulled up at the bars the tyres just slid away on the ice. After 10 minutes of slowly pushing the bike away from me and being totally knackered. Eventually a card river stopped and helped me get it back upright so I could finish my journey home. A ride that took another 10 hours. I nearly gave up riding after that.
