Dont be as stupid as me

It's not how fast you ride, it's how you ride fast.
Light travels faster than sound. That's why some people appear
bright until you hear them speak.

Re: Dont be as stupid as me
I got caught out in the snow last winter. Fumbled up the M40 following tail lights - not too bad; then left the Mway, put my foot down at the give way and it just slid off towards the ditch. Sweated the 6 miles home in 1st & 2nd gear; all on the throttle - ABS cut in every time you thought about the brakes. The last 1/2 mile is up a track, so no salt but loads of ice.

So last night I stayed in London, got a curry in and to hell with the "thaw". Came out this morning - tipping it down but at least it was daylight and there was some grip. Not a bad run actually.
