    I don't do any heroic stuff these days, that's what the car's for.

    There's plenty of good enough days through the dark months for me to get out and about.

    Why would you want to not have the option of blowing the winter blues away ?

    My classic RD400 is on the road 365 days a year. I always find there is some nice dry sunny days over xmas for a chilly blast.

    I use the snow chains when it snows........

    I've ridden on Christmas Day before - was great! No traffic, blue skies and dry roads.

    Mines tucked up on its carpet and plugged in to the mains but will still come out when there are dry days that aren't too cold.

    Bizarrely I'm doing it all backwards. I'm just getting mine out now - 2012 has been crap biking wise and it's spent most of the year with no tax, no MOT and a flat battery. I'm determined not to let 2013 be the same.

    So it's had a wash and a new battery today, and I'm beating the queues at the garage and getting it MOT'd, taxed and serviced next weekend. Poor thing needs a fair bit though, including new exhaust headers and some brake work, just to get through the test At some point I need to talk to a sparky about getting some electricity in the garage so it can sit on a trickle charger, I'm sick of the alarm killing a battery or two every year.

    my gpz500s is my daily ride,my other two bikes are not afraid to venture out either..it doesn't take long to wash off the bikes either with a pressure washer and G101..
    the only time the bike stays put is lots of ice/snow..cus i got no stabilizers.

    .. I must be missing the point lots of times lately on WB threads ... but what is the purpose of the "poll" vote element of this thread in terms of the use that is going to be made of it ?? :-?

    Ade, to get an idea who of braves the cold.

    Being a rider who doesn't let the weather stop him : I wanted to know who else was the same as me, share some knowledge and tips for those hard winter months!

    I saw it on MCN, that's where the idea and copy of theirs come from, as I don't know all of you, and only met a handful of the nice bunch in person, it's good to know who'll be up for a ride out too! 8-)
