Out on the M4 this am and it wasn't much fun. Got chatting to a guy on a ZX12 at ThunderRoad and he was mightily unimpressed. Got the bike home, was black now white with road salt .... grrrreat. Hosed it down and watched the water turn to ice ... but hell, its a £9k bike. Bikes + Winter = crap 
Roll on the spring!!!!!!!!

are you sure Liv?
I think you are making all this up, you are called Franck and live in Essex. Come on, Piggdekk!!! And what does Brrr! mean then?
We want more Norwegian lessons but proper ones!
BTW, saw on TV (Spanish TV) that the Russian have snow chains for feet. Looked pretty effective.

That's todays Norwegian lesson.

Ride today ? I'm with Tim on this one. I ride for pleasure not pain. After a very spectacular get off a few years ago on black ice I won't go out anymore on the bike when it's anywhere near freezing.
You lot are bloody mad
Cheers

Too Cold?!
No snow in Bristol today so I took advantage of my day off and took an 80 mile round trip to Cheddar to see Mike Belch and pick up the H and B engine bars he kindly sold me.
It was cold though, and I needed all my quilted linings in, and the heated grips set to OW!
Whilst I was riding back through some of the slippier bits, I couldn't help but think of the irony of dropping my 3 1/2 week old bike, with new engine bars bungied to the top case!!

Cold!
Last tuesday I has to de-ice the start-button before going home from work; today I came back from home in the south to my work in Tilburg, 140 km, clear blue sky, free roads, and -10....
I don't know what the chillfactor is with -10 and 130km/h, but
I now know what snow-balls are....

When I was at the NEC this year , I was going to buy a set of handlebar muffs but my m8 who was there(never rides in winter) persuaded me not to by saying it was sad and he would buy me a pint if I didnt get them.I should never have listned to him.-Im going oot to buy some.Im a bit fed up of cold hands,even with heated grips and handguards.Any one any ideas whats the best muffs.
That's a serious question, right?
Don't feel to bad not listening to your mate. You're both right - yes they are sad and yes they are worth putting up with the stick for.
Plug any gaps with duct tape to destroy any street cred you've got left. This is worth doing as any airflow into the muff will be noticeable.
A fluffy muff with a reenforced opening might be best for when it gets wet - stop it getting floppy.

Muffs that fit are the best. I have had 3 sets of muffs on a total of 7 bikes. Some fit brilliantly on some bikes and badly on others. Trouble is, none have fitted the GS at all well. So badly in fact that this is the first bike I ride through winter without muffs - so if you find a set that fits, please let us all know.
