This guy would still ride in with the light smattering of snow we are having.

Well he's got more balls than me!
My front tyre let go a couple of weeks ago, on a dry road! I put it down to frozen tyres, as I couldn't see anything to slip on.

Used to have to ride in everything when I was an apprentice over 40 years ago. I remember riding through knee high virgin snow one night going home from work.... There where little cones of snow building up on my knee caps, but I was still flat out on my moped.
I thought, so what if I do fall off, it will be a soft landing... Hardest thing will be finding the bike again!

He's brave and stupid. The 2 times I've been off have been in snow too.

Finding the bike wasn't the problem that I used to have all those years ago it was going for a Jimmy riddle...:shocked:

I certainly wouldn't recommend an RGV250 in the snow, the power is too snappy, back end swung around so fast I just hit the deck. I did fair better with my old Z550 2 up we did about 10miles on an A road in a blizzard before I turned onto a B road and it just slid from under me in the snow for no apparent reason. BMW K100 was ok if you take it real steady.

I always found the 750, and I think the S2R, was a treat to ride in the snow. It's that low seat height and the flat torque curve.
I dud one run through the forest of dean where I couldn't see the sides of the road, they just merged in with the forest, We chugged up some nice steep hills too.
The 748 would be an absolute disaster though!

[Doggy]

fair play to him !
