I got caught out in horrible sleet whilst nipping about town running errands.

Jeans and desert boots not recommended for sleet, that's for sure!

I wobbled in the snow to put the beastie in for his service.
Never been out in the snow so quite proud of myself

The mechanic did make me take the bus home though

Same as Jackdaw.... pretty heavy snow on the way home.
Always fun on slighty (well) worn tyres.

This is how far I got before I could not stand the cold (in the workshop) anymore.

Pistons were stuck solid because of the salt behind the dust seal, Pic shows Cleaned up and half put back together ......

Not trying to teach you to suck eggs but turn the knob on the top full right this is the prime position which will re prime (doh) the system. During winter I always turn mine up anyhow. Hope this helps cheers Spud

Fitted a new exhaust and then it started snowing so obviously I decided to go over to a mates workshop on it and freeze myself to death.

Just rode home on what can only be described as a skating ring. God it was scary.
