It must be Christmas 1980 since I have ridden in snow like that
Got a 2 week job over Christmas and one day it started snowing mid morning- by 5:00 6inches of snow - came off the bike a few times on the way home

Were you in that picture CTB ? I recall winter of ‘78/‘79 riding my brothers new CX500 on fresh snow 6” deep no problem but my CB550 four not so rideable,last time I rode on snow was on a Fireblade quite scary and decided never again would I ride on snow 😁

My last escapade in the snow on a bike was on a C50 in 1990. Reg LWF976W.
It was fun. Bike handled well.

Make sure you wrap up well 😁 Deffo. This mulled wine is helping. All we can do is somehow battle through. |

There's no place like the UK for Christmas....Ideally around a roaring open fire. But I agree, being on a bike there at this time of year is no fun at all. Best wishes to you and yours mate.  |

Quite a few years ago, I went out on my suzuki gsxr 1000 k5 on Christmas Eve, around 13 miles each way to Leicester, to pick up The Dragon's Christmas present, wearing summer weight gloves and jacket, was a lovely ride there, not so on the way back, had the wife's present under my jacket, could hardly reach the bars 🤣🤣 Ended up meeting the mother-in-law in Leicester, for her to take the present home 😁 Unfortunately, these days, I'm far too busy at Christmas to even think about the bikes 😪 |
