hrc2002 Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 Warmer sock? A stick to flick the snow off? I doubt there will be many suggestions for riding in snow as we have such little amounts, try asking JTT, he does snow racing, he'll proberbly have some good tips for keeping warm.

outlaw dave Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 Over here in the Colonies, we have LOTS of experience with riding in the snow - You do have the best footpegs, and about the only suggestion I have is to spray your pegs with a de-icer before you go out - I use a product called Opti Pro which won't be able to get in the UK - but you may have luck using WD 40.

gt6racer Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 I ride in the snow all the time - it's good practise with low traction and you can practise for ages without getting too hot. I use WD40 to stop it sticking so bad, but then push the peg up with my foot against its spring, and let it fly back down. This usually releases the ice/snow.
