Who rides all year

I do a 50 mile run most weeks to see a mate and I go to Essex twice a month to see my Dad (150 miles round trip) right through the year. The only time I don't do the trip is if there's ice or snow about. I've been used to handguards and heated grips on the Tiger and GS so it could be a bit of a shock on the America I may have to get some muffs this year (and a big can of ACF50 and a tub of chrome cleaner) :wink:

 

Well I've always had motocross bikes and trials bikes so the mud and rain just made things better!

 

I keep mine legal all year round just in case we get the odd dry weekend over the colder period. I wouldnt take my bike out in the wet weather as i just dont enjoy it & i end up spending the following week cleaning all the crud off of it again.
However, field bikes.... Definitely! Wouldnt even bother my arse taking my field bike out in decent weather.... No fun in that at all.

 

No fun

Loads of fun

 

My Triumph is a much loved work horse, so I'll be out in the snow if it comes to it. Though I might try and pick up a cheap winter hack if the right thing comes up. Wish I'd never sold my old KLR650!

(Spanky: I'd like to say only in America, but they look like European plates!?!)

 

Used to ride all year round but drive car to work now.
Have a DR400 for winter fun...
But have been know to go out when the weather is not so good..

 

Bloody iPhones..... Was a tad cold.. Supprised at that amount of lean I did not fall off the edge...

 

I tend to wrap mine up but keep it pointing the right way in case we have a dry spell.
Having said that, my stator or reg/rec has gone pop so I guess thats me done until I can find time to diagnose it and then afford it depending on what needs replacing

 

Got caught short Thurs. before Easter ferry booked that night for Belgium woke to this ! all part of being British and growing up suppose ! made it no probs,.

 

Sod that! I dont even get out of bed when the weather is like that so you certainly wouldnt see me on my bike!

 

Would be a bit cold in shorts and flip flops then Pig

 

Too right mate. I reckon you would need to wear some kind of protective motorcycle clothing to ride in those conditions! Shorts & flip flops is the best attire for cruising around, obviously weather permittng.

 

As a rule and in answer to the original post no do not run bikes through "winter" thought it was SPRING lol

 

You been sat there since before it started snowing or did you just fart a lot? (I only ask as there's no snow below you). x

 

It's coz I'm hot stuff...

 

Says Mr. Snow Umbrella!

 

I have a toy I wouldn't even ride in the wet, and a workhorse that'll be used everyday unless there's ice/snow down. Just not worth the bother to me in those conditions.

Unlike me mate who was on a promise, and with no other means of transport, attempted to visit said lady (10 miles away) in this



He cam off 3 times before calling it a day and asking me for a lift

 

But did he fuck her? View attachment 1868
