You just wait a month when the snow clears from the mountain passes.
I'll be posting loads of photos from the tops of the mountains here
It does usually until your pics haha, they are huge and full width of my screen, using up to date Chrome, not that chrome is any good anymore, awful browser.
What age / mileage is yours?

I've just got some of the wd 40 stuff from aldi. Going to use the chain wax for a while, the wd4o chain lube doesn't last long in this weather.

Bloody hell, I've owned my bike for just about 2 years and only done around 6000 miles.

I've done close to 1500 miles on my Tuono and only had it for 'technically' for 3 months!!
Bought in september, used in October and a bit of november, put away for winter and it came back out a couple of weeks ago.I commute on my CB400 so that's 8-10k miles a year minimum.

Passed my Mod2 last week - took 4 attempts!! Just couldn't deal with the nerves. Passed car driving test first time, CBT was a breeze and passed Mod1 first time. But having that examiner riding behind me for @ 45 mins was too much.
Anyway, thankfully that's history now. In the market for a new bike. Budget is Between 6 and 7k. I've been riding a 125 since 2013 and been driving for 20 years - so feel confident enough to go for new.
So far, I've narrowed it down to the obvious - MT-07, XJS700 and CB650F. Prefer street/naked but open to suggestions or even thoughts on the aforementioned. MT seems highly regarded.

Haha! Rather not read the comments, there is always plenty of people who think they know better lol.
Yeah saw this on one of the other posts to FB. Some people really were talking utter crap
I read a few comments saying you shouldn't have been doing 60+ on that road, I was thinking wtf
*****.Yeah idiots, there was a good thread on it when I first posted it, and people worked it out slowed down etc that the distance it took and time etc I was definitely going around 30mph give or take a few mph.
Idiots just see the headcam footage first where it looks like I am going silly speed, if I was there would be some dead people in that car, we've all seem images and videos of bikes ripping though car doors at higher speeds.
