    Black ice is a bitch, and one reason why you don't ride after a snowstorm.

    Why the fuck would you ride a god damn 1098 in the fucking snow? Oh wait, I know... because you spent so much on your Ducati that you couldn't afford a car. Idiot.

    Or maybe because he didn't want to blow even more money on owning a car in London? Have you seen what they tax you to have a car + insane gas prices+ parking +how much they charge to park+ a million and one other things they can think of to get more money out of you just because you own a car

    Re: 1098 slips in the snow?

    I think this is pretty common. My last trip to Germany I saw people riding in just crazy weather. One morning there was freezing drizzle where it was sketchy to walk never mind ride. I saw the same amount of bikes out had it been 60 and sunny. A lot of people in europe just have a bike and thats how they get around 365 days a year. Owning a car is so damn expensive its hard for some to afford. Especially living in a city where parking is near impossible in a car.

    When I bought my latest bike I had read lots of people complaining the front brake caliper seized up. I later found out its because they are riding in the damn snow and salt. The bore was getting corroded and seizing the pistons up.

    It looks like he left it in gear when he picked it up and parked it by spinning the rear.
