That's why I won't ride in freezing weather. Hope the guy's all right.

that looked pretty painfull. i've had a fall like that when i had an eleseo 125. on my Ag i've only rode it on an icy road ONCE and that was enuf for me. i could do 20 mph tops because the bike was trying to do a very very bad dance with the aim of trying to kill me.. ive never been so scared in all my life.

You've got a split second to decide should I stop or pucker your butthole and hope for the best. Ooops  :D ;)

It was slow speed, I'm sure he's fine.

Bah, hes fine. Bones heal, scooters can be fixed and chicks dig scars.

Over here our roads are all gritted in winter anyway so i doubt this would happen much in this country. If i thought about all the dangers involved in riding then i prob wouldnt ride ever again  :-\

Bet he had to change his pants afterwards tho  :D
