I decided that i just had to have a small run today so about 4pm and although it was a touch cold i warmed the sucker up and off i went. The first roundabout was a bit of a challenge due to the steering feeling like it had no bearings or the wheels where made of wood this lasted for a good while which kind of nacked the quick blast up a tadge .So what is it ?? Is the fork oil cold or the tyres cold i know the bikes ok as its only been in the garage since the last run (Wales).
I think that's exactly what it is cold, I feel the difference too, shocks not as smooth and like you say steers like a bitch! Just wait till it warms up.
Cheers Tone but it is kind of creepy and does take a bit of skill to manage. (Must be like this all the time in Scotland )
Thanks Dude .I thought about doing this prior to lift off but you know how it is (just a small run ect) The tyres are nearly dusted perhaps one more trip and then i will have to troll through the what tyre section .
i would if its possible give it a miss for now its to cold for any good grip . and the black stuff isnt going to warm up for the next 4month at the best
Just learn the limits of yourself and your bike in these conditions and it will help make you a better rider.
i know what you mean mate its prob just me gettin OLD bin there done it broke evey bone in me body ridin in all weathers just dont want any more pain if i can help it. u just know if its warm the grip should be there to have fun ?
