From tonight the Gritters are out and about,
Be safe out there people.
Was a bit slippy this evening. I wonder if I have the right tyres fitted? Hehehe.
Yeh, it was lovely tonight, wet and dark on the A406, so everyone thought they could use their mobiles and no-one would see! Hence low-speed collisions all the way. Mental.
We had a harsh reminder all the way home from Snowdon last Friday, thick freezing fog and icy roads. At least most had been gritted over the last month, you couldn’t see it but by time we got to Wales looking at the bikes, told us so 
:pinch:
No worries here, over the weekend I thought… I’m not going to be a fair weather biker, so out I went. I swear, my extremeties were so cold, it was painful, I couldn’t concentrate properly or operate the throttle or clutch safely, I got wet, freezing, and bike has gone away till spring :D:D:D fair weather it is then!!!
But it won’t be as cold as this all the time - it’s a “cold snap” - we’ll get milder weather again before spring:D:D
Great! Let’s all watch our bikes dissolve. . . :crazy:
Agreed. Grit, read salt, is an evil product for road use unless there is no choice. Rots metal at an alarming rate.
A lot of other countries get by with industrial alcohol in climates far harsher than ours and that stuff doesn’t rot metal, kill roadside trees, etc.
gritters last night started in my area… and i was like… ’
great! makes crossing roads like stepping on marbles’ lol
