Hi guys and gals,
I just read over the internet (where everything is true), that Winter has suddenly arrived in Switzerland, after that HOT HOT spell last week.
It seems that we are going to be hit with a big cold and harsh winter this time.
Can someone advise me, how to prepare for winter-riding? (I have never ridden a motorcycle during winter)
Do I need winter-tires (so that they are soft and grippy etc).
I plan to source for a heated jacket, gloves, etc.
I mean, I am just going out for short trips, just to keep the oil running, etc.
In Zurich, we can get up to -10 degrees C, but not much more in the coldest month (January). Not sure when that will be, this year.
Normally, it will be 0 to 5 deg C on average.
I mean, today it is 10 - 15 C.....so it must be winter arriving early.
