Snowed in? Well, me and the ZX-6R are!

Britain’s extreme weather strikes again!

Tweet
Posted: 18 December 2009
by Andy Stevens

For the second time this year ive got up in the morning, gone to leave for work and found this sitting in my garden.

Usually I leave the ZXR under cover, but last night I knew it may be tricky getting out of the garden so I had it lined up and ready to go for a frosty start, well “Frosty” turned out to be an obvious understatement.

The good news is despite all types of extreme weather the paint finish and overall quality of the parts on the Ninja have proven to be very good. After a good wash the bike shines like new with no tarnishing, chipping or peeling of any sort, It looks and feels like new even after 10000 miles of London commuting.

Feel free to post your snow biking pictures in the forums gallery!
