Title: Motor scooter Winter tyres
Post by: Motorfoon on March 04, 2017, 01:05:43 AM

I know this sounds strange, but how much riding do you guys do in the snow?

It looks Michelin like thinks theres so many people riding in the snow they made a tyre for it!

I ride all year.But there is a limet when it comes to lots and ice on the road. I use kendas like the ones you see on the honda ruckus. When I find something I like I stick to it. This is my frist winter in about 14 years I have not road because of bad health.
