That’s a shame buddy, we can all look back and think why did I think that was a good idea, upper crash bars help avoid the fairing damage. Glad you’re ok, all part of the learning process that is never over 👍. Don’t mention drones, been there. Not a lucky day…..

Yes if its 2/3 degC along the motorway, those upland passes will almost certainly be icy, especially north facing slopes. I thought 20 years of mtb would've rammed that home but... i still slid off with the motorbike on a shaded roundabout last winter. Always learning. They should put an ice mode on these ECUs.

I dropped my tiger 1200 xca a week ago on a steep incline whilst doing a u turn. Was going walking speed. Took an indicator but the stem didn’t break, the plate it attaches too broke. Fairing damage and engine bar scratches. She had just been cleans, winter coated and serviced so was really cheesed off. She’s back with the mechanic now to make her better.

Well you wanted adventure - you've had one! Before cars became affordable workers would commute on their motorbikes through snow & ice like that. My grandfather once got lost in a blizzard in North Wales. My dad went out on his bike to look for him. Gauntlets and a greatcoat! I think we're getting a bit soft these days but I applaud your honesty in showing the spill - we tend to keep those to ourselves.

Those engine crash bars saved a fortune and I was amazed at how well the bike came out of it given the impact looked pretty damn heavy. Well done for keeping calm, rallying and pressing ahead. That drone though, talked about being kicked while down 😧.

Good job it’s all repairable and some hurt pride. And hopefully lessons learned. Personally I don’t go out riding much in winter. But since I live not far from buttermere I need to get out into the park more than I do. It is a stunning place the lake district and I’m probably guilty of taking it for granted. But equally next year I may also tour up the west coast of Scotland. I use to be an all season biker but much prefer it know riding in better weather 🌦️. In winter I plan my next tours and big trips also get any work needed done ready for them. And yes I have become a sessional biker.

Glad you were OK. I did something similar back in August when I was touring the Yorkshire Dales with my brother on my GS Rallye. I came upon a ford that was showing 6" of water so I approached cautiously, went through slowly then a few feet in the bike just dropped. Similar to your low speed drop. Fortunately my crash bars saved my legs. I just lay there winded for a while. Getting wet. Looking back at my brother, he was pissing himself! He parked his bike just short of the ford then proceeded to wade in to help me. He took no more tan 3 steps and he went bang down! Completely lost his footing. It turns out that the bottom of the ford, the base had been concreted with a smooth finish which, over time, had completely been covered in green slime. More slippy than a slippy thing! So we both ended up completely wet through and incapacitated due to laughter! When eventually, when we stopped laughing, dragged the GS to the side of the the concrete base where we could at least stand, then over about 20 minutes dragged it to the side where we could up end it. Being a GS I hit the start button and it roared into life. I love that bike! I also love my brother. He's, as an ex Police motorcyclist for 16 years, plus he's the only person I feel comfortable riding with. We always seem to know what the other is thinking. So that's a good thing! The GS just needed some touch up on the crash bars then it's was as good as new. I first did my Police class 1 motorcycle training some 40 years ago, Now at the grand old age of 69, I've just signed up to do it all over again. Wish me luck!

well hopefully rider and bike ok :) ..."you can see here,sheer ice"...checks speedo...18mph.....continues onto more ice...then trys braking lol.......1st gear idle would be my go to for this and cover back brake only and head for the grass at the side for more traction until clear but we've all done daft stuff myself included where you look back and see what you could of done different so long as you learn something all good :)

Glad you are OK. But in the Lake District after a wet spell, in December, with temperatures hovering below zero, on narrow roads that you know won't have been gritted! Why take the risk when you know its very likely you will encounter ice. As black adder would say its slipperyer than a slippy thing thats been to night classes to learn how to be slippy🙄Take care on the rest of your travels dude!

Glad you're ok, and bikes not too bad. I went out satday for an hour on my GS over Longridge Fell. At ground level it was 5.5c at the top 1200ft it dropped to 2.0c as I crested the north side with sleet banked up at the side. A bit of slush n ice for a few yards but now't too serious.... (nothing like yours) . Not a big deal, but Beware, guys, especially North facing or sheltered spots.

We planned to the that exact same ride out tomorrow, but canceled the ride earlier in the week as the forecast was showing minus figures and as you say icey roads on those roads take a while to thaw

@andrewaveyard3336 5 ай бұрын

Just some thoughts really…. Whilst I was on my driving course in the RAF in 1982, my Corporal Instructor told me about a similar incident but this time in a car. It was cold and icy in winter and he told the driver to make sure he drove with the window down so that he would not forget the external road/weather conditions. His thinking was that the driver would be too comfortable and become casual whilst driving. The driver later crashed. The heating and window were up to the max in his Mk 1 Escort Estate. The driver was put on a charge by the Corporal. We are getting to a position where heated seats, gloves, grips, clothing and all the current electronic gizmos is increasing the same as mentioned above. I must admit, as an ex-Police Officer, I was cringing when the camera records you waving your hands around whilst chatting to the mic….. another distraction on top of not having full control of the bike. Yes, it was also (and I know you are now more than aware) pretty foolish to go down that slope covered in ice…. Maybe an over reliance on technology and the invincibility tendency re the impact vest as well. Hey ho.

@alichamas63 5 ай бұрын

Damn, glad you're ok man! Looks like you were coming down just a little too fast for such treacherously slippery ground, though I imagine even peddling on that would be tricky. Top heavy bike especially doesn't help, though it wouldn't be a real ADV biked without some kind of scuff or battle scar now would it? :) Like a 4WD with no dirt on it. Good thing it wasn't the Bonnie! Safe riding mate.

@gerrycollins2335 5 ай бұрын

I doubt that speed had anything to do with it. He was riding very slowly and carefully. It was the lack of friction between tyre and road surface that caused the front wheel to slip out to the side due to the smallest steering input and/or camber in the road. In fact, had he been going more quickly, there is a chance that the gyroscopic effect of the wheels would have helped the bike stay upright - but I wouldn't recommend trying it on a public road!

.... talk about calm & collected! I dont think many of us would be so level headed after coming off then loosing a drone. I doff my hat in your general direction sir, hope you get the bike sorted and a new drone without too much expense. Great vid.
