[QUOTE="Labradorcoaster, post: 157706, member: 1606"] Thanks for the thread above and the advice. Yeh I've spent some time in the eastern artic and as the guy said the wind swept snow feels like frozen sand, ( except where it's not!) Thus the daily tumbles. I have been finding that they hurt a little less in the snow and I stay fairly warm due to the energy spent working the bike where you want it to go. Posting some pics of my ride yesterday, it was rather fresh with the windchill somewhere around -30c. Froze my cheek. Took a pretty good tumble yesterday, attempting a wheelie, rear mud guard disintegrated into 4-5 peices, guess the plastic is just not that flexible in the cold. After return to the garage I also noticed that I had snapped off the throttle housing where the cable enters, didn't seem to affect the throttle response but thinking that I will remove it and epoxy it up until I can get a replacement. Again as the fellow mentioned up in the artic, getting parts are a challenge, there is a ship that comes now once a week, and theres a (usually) daily plane for mail orders.[ATTACH=full]20366[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]20367[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]20368[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]20367[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]20368[/ATTACH] The island here has very rugged terrain, but with all the snow it is great to be able to go places where I wouldn't dream of in the summer... First attempt at pictures. take care, Wilson [/QUOTE]
