XTreme Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 If you'd asked last Friday then I'd be in the frame. But I managed to get a good 30 miles under my belt on the weekend after 3 weeks of being sidelined 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HydraBish has done a few laps round the cruiser. That's got to count for something! Well of course it’s loads better than sitting alone on the sofa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grasshopper Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Considering I started the year with my bike in parts, I have done pretty good. I have had several rides thankfully. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catteeclan Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Me, ain't been anywhere. Unless I can count my pushbike, been to work n back a couple of times. Thought I'd get out last weekend till the bloody gritters spewed their shit everywhere again. Got loads of rain in the forecast to wash it away closely followed by another cold spell.

Hasn't been above 0C in weeks - although today is supposed to be really warm. But we have 75 mph winds today as well - I just can't win I may have to toss the bike in the truck and head to Mexico soon to ride. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That looks bloody great for a Portuguese, but I can see how it can get old after a few days Can you drive well enough in that? No interest in other motorized things for the snow? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I drive a 4 WD Ford F150 pick up truck - it's high enough to clear most snow and can get through 24" snow easily enough. Much more than that and it "floats" on top of the snow as the snow packs up underneath it and lifts the wheels up. But it doesn't snow that much very often. 15" of snow is no problem at all. Snowmobiles / snow machines don't interest me too much. It'd be fun but not worth the money required. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only if you ride it on the road, it's still covered for fire and theft when parked up but you cannot ride it on the road until you have a new MOT and tax but you are covered to ride it to the MOT station after booking an appointment 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You end up taking your chances. I guess the insurance companies think there would be a lot of insurance fraud if they were to allow bike self damage coverage, I think they are right in their assumptions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
