    Sounds like you had a really good laugh, must admit have thought about it myself getting an off road bike for exactly the reason you want to ride in the snow. It won't matter what the weather is like rain or sunshine.
    Have fun and enjoy...

    How may bike have you got now, you must have a double, double garage....

    A good collection of bikes there, it must be good having different bikes for different weather conditions. Got me thinking again.

    I remember being woken one morning at some godforsaken hour by himself ringing me, he had supposedly left for work but actually he and the beamer had fallen over on the slope outside the garage and the bike was pinning him to the ground! Fortunately he could get to his phone and I dragged on some jeans and rescued him!

    Closest Iv come to getting trapped was with my cx500, I was knelt down putting air in the rear tyre and it was on the side stand,cx500s have notoriously weak side stands and topple over for the fun of it, anyway there I am checking the tyre pressure and suddenly the bike slowly starts leaning further over, like a muppet I dive forward to save it and end up pinned under the engine protecter bars, took a good min or so to wiggle out and a week for the bruise on my back to go . The bike was Undamaged though

    Totally agree.

    Good to hear the bike and yourself are both ok Try and keep it shiny side up!
