There is no doubt that some of the guys knows how to handle a bike ;-)
Driving in snow is not that hard after some practise actually, but you have know how to handle a bike in the first place. It's a little bit like driving in deep sand -if you use spiked tires like on the picture below (most drivers uses this type of spikes when driving offroad or enduro in the midwintertimes here).

(snow is ok without these, but when there is ice below it -it´s another matter...)

I drive more enduro in the winter than in the summer -it´s less washing and stuff + more fun.
But if you are driving a heavy bike like the Baggy, it´s not fun in deep snow... I rather use a "enduro"/250-bike for this -like on the picture below (my friend Otto) :-D

I took some photos on a endurocompetition that we have here in Sweden in Nov/Dec. Usually there is snow, but now it was around 10+ :shock:

They drive 280(?)km hard enduro -problably one of the hardest enduro-competition in the world...
It´s named NovemberKasan.

One of the reasons, a lifetime ago, that I left the UK for Australia was having to ride on slush, snow and ice for four months of the year!!

Oz, 12 months a year of riding nirvanah...... :D

Perth/Aus seem like a very nice place to live if you like motorsport -specially offroad :-)

You have big offroad Rallyes and stuff http://soe.se/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=14 ... ight=perth
(one of the guys here in Sweden is involved by blood -born Aus :D )

Then you have all kind off air and water-competitions! We can see them on TV here up north...

Attila, one of the SOE-members just moved to Perth -say hello from Hoke if you see him ;-)
He has a big swedish flag on his belly and SOE.SE on his arm like on the picture http://soe.se/phpBB2/files/sm_wanneroo__2__116.jpg
If you see anyone looking like this, say hellooo from Hoke :lol:

And then my cousin have been living around Perth for a while now to -Aus seems to be the place to be :lol: :-D

PS
Perth actually seems a little to hot to go offroad around in the summer..

Snow and ice might be great, if they happened at 25 oC!

As for hot summers, go south in the summer, north in the winter, I live at the Pearly Gates.....
