I've been riding a ZZR 1100 for the last few weeks as my normal commuter bike (TRX 850) is off the road for repairs. Riding the ZZR definitely requires more skill and control than the TRX which is so much easier to ride in dodgy conditions. So hats off to any riders who use big boy's like the ZZR all year round!

Nope, a test of stupidity... riding any bikes in winter and cold/wet is just plain DAFT !

Is it a skill to not hammer the throttle open?

I think, in our society in general, self-restraint is indeed a lacking and rare skill nowadays.

Because weeksy's the sort of boy who cried in gymnastics, uses hand cream and wouldn't know a socket from a box wrench.

You mean you haven't heard of weather-proof clothing?

Only if you've caught the Ghey! Having said that, mines off the road this winter for repairs, but I do miss the buzz of riding on a wet, slippery road....takes SOOOO much more balls and skill than nancy dry weather poncing about!!
I've no doubt that one day I'll run out of amusing things to say in my signature line....but today is not that day!! :smoke:

Has anyone noticed the increase in boy racers in Corsas etc flooring it around since the weather got bad? It seems they WANT to crash.
