Life lesson, if you think your brakes suck in the rain they're useless in the snow.

Last winter was a BITCH. I didn't mind having frozen hands, but the havoc a few mm of snow can cause was terrifying. I found the trick was to forget first, stay in second or third gear and use the clutch to keep the revs just above lugging while maintaining speed.
Then there were those seemingly clear days on the highway when the weather decided to suddenly say "fk you" and start snowing, forcing one to either be blinded by your visor or ice hitting your eyes at 55+.
i swear to god once i invent snow tires for motorbikes....
