Ok someone had to be the idiot out on the roads on monday trying in vain to get home via the M23 and M25 to stansted, and yes that idiot was me, and my 125, such good times we have together.
Anyway as im sure you can imagine i certainly didnt get very far at all. It only took me 5 hours to do the round trip from friends house, some motorway, and back to friends house…approx 40 miles.
I tried, i failed, and in the process i got very wet, cold, and broke parts of my bike. A successfull day out one might say.
The snow/slush between lanes and on the offsides of the road was much more than was even worth considering, the underside of a lorry wouldnt of been so kind as the weather.
You were not only risking yourself but in the very high chances that
you did injure yourself then emergency services would have had to risk it
all as well trying to get to you as fast as they could.
As someone who has been out working over the last couple of nights,
I’m truly amazed at how many idiots I’ve seen making journeys that were not vital.
A few years back, a friend of mine rode from Edinburgh to Dundee in heavy snow (it started after he set off). His wheels were bouncing off the sides of the ruts he was riding in, following lorries … madness, but brave.
