I was at a friends and it started snowin hard, I left and tried to get up a real steep hill, I couldn’t do it, a car was sliding back to me, I had the front brake on and both feet down and was sliding back down the hill myself, 0 grip, my ringpiece suckering me to the seat waiting for it to slip from under me. I got some guy to get out a car and hold me upright whilst I put it into the kerb. It’s now abandoned halfway up a hill and the snow is still falling :no: 
Me and my buddies were going to try and wheel it back to his house, but we couldn’t even do that as we had no grip to stand up. What a nightmare.
Where are the bloomin’ gritters!!
Nightmare :blink:
Hope your bottom recovers 
and you get to your bike ok for collection
At least you kept your bike up right , I just fell of my bike around half 4 going down a hill towards my house back wheel just went from me went flying on my right side , Lady behind me put her hazards on and helped and so did 2 guys in a van who got out and helped me push my bike back in the garage , annoying I was yards from my house but i’ve paid the price , the other night a pizza delivery guy on scooter fell down the hill in same position , luckily I got r&g mushrooms no damage done that it looks like apart from mushroom slightly bent saved me couple of hundred quids worth of damage:w00t:
I hope you got some locks on it mate.
I was meant to get my proper bike back this evening. If it arrives I cant wait to get out there!:w00t:
I just had a scary drive home, its is awful here. Was just feeling sorry for all the bikers i saw trying to drag their bikes through it. Glad you’re ok
I’d love to see someone try and take it, 3 of us couldnt move it from where it was lol I going to hop on a bus later and go lock it up once the traffic madness is over.
And dan, sorry to hear about your drop, I dont envy even cagers caught out in this.
damn mate!! was it the bandit you had on hire ?
Nope it’s my new B-King, thats why 3 of us couldn’t move the damn thing
Awwww hun so sorry to hear, but at leas you are okay and you don’t have to worry someone will take it. I am snowed in at home too so phoned up a few cab firms to find out if i could get a cab to work tomorrow…well, no chance at the mo, they told me to call them a few hours later and find out :w00t:
suppose that one benefit of getting a bking… nobody can lift it!! :ermm:
Exactly, and can you imagine sliding backwards down a hill on it praying you’ll stop and not drop, brown pants adrenaline moment or what!
Put some cardboard underneath it and lay it down, then push it down the hill 
and with Hanibal on top! the worlds heaviest (and most expensive) bobsled! :hehe:
:D:D:D
If I thought I could get it to stop once it was moving I might have tried that. It’s halfway up a real steep hill.
Abandoned mine on the A3 after two ‘sliding along in the slush’ events.
Bent crash bung, but apart from that no probs I noticed.
Chained and covered and awaiting collection later this evening.
Must say though, the Hein Gericke Pathan ‘lobster’ gloves did a great job of being waterproof and relatively warm!
And I thought I was such a biker bringing all the Christmas food back from Asda on the TCat! :unsure: :pinch:
rope looped round a lamppost?
sorry to hear it though. I’m usually the first to point at fair weather bikers but I think in these conditions, you’d be crazy to be out there on 2 wheels
glad you kept it upright,
if it was a harley it would have gone up the hill, and wouldn’t have slipped as Tractors have plenty of grip …lol
I got caught out too. Just got home. All well, but I think I must have used up an entire clutch! 
Really not worth it if you can avoid.
It looks slushy but it’s actually frozen in a lot of places underneath the slush.
Jackie left Westminster at 4, and we have just got her home. Her bike is abandoned in Wandsworth - let’s hope it is there in the morning!
It took me nearly two hours to get from New Malden to Wandsworth by car as the A3 wasn’t gritted and it was treacherous where it goies down to one lane at Tibbet’s Corner - it is amazing there were no crunches, but the tailback did reach the Raynes Park flyover! :crying:
