This blog is a diary of riding a street motorcycle through winter, with snow and ice and freezing temperatures.

When I decided to ride in winter I did a lot of searching for information. I did not find much – some forum discussions and a few random Youtube videos. That is the reason I opened this blog, to share my experiences in case someone else is looking for tips on winter riding

The bike is a 2000 model Yamaha FZS 600 Fazer. It was the most bike for the small money I budgeted for this endeavour. An enduro would have been more suitable but they are way overpriced. A 125 cm2 would have been easier to handle because of much lighter weight, but those bikes are overpriced, too, considering they are almost toys.
