I'm re-watching all of his videos, and so far this is one of my favorites. Although I don't like to see him in danger, I can tell he's mainly being funny and silly. I love "Curses!", the sigh at 0:58, and his laughter after 1:50 .

This video is exactly the reason why you need to screw 800 sheet metal screws into your tires, it really helps with the NOT falling part. Hell in the worst conditions, ie. sheet ice, you've got the best traction on the road :)
Top guy. This is why I want a dirt bike. I got a zx10 road bike and blade track bike but want a silly conditions bike. You look like you need someone to go out and play with.
Hi! Halfthrottle pointed me to your channel. I love this video, I understand now how stupid riding in winter is and I am sooo going to do it. I have a similiar route to work, this acually may make going to work fun! Thanks mate.
I wanna bike like that where i know if i drop it it dont really matter, i would have so much fun going out in the snow but i got a street triple r and dont want to break it lol
@svengalie its a figure of speech, i used to ride my push bike on ice/snow for a laugh but it was dangerous as hell when you realize that cars and buses still decide to get close cyclists lol
Hey brotha, Im 20 years old. Been through a bit in my life. But i tend to get pretty angry, especially when im by myself and bad stuff happens to me. And seeing you handle this with that laugh made me smile. Hopefully made me a little more sensible and cheerful when bad stuff happens next. And for all those people who are saying. Why dont you stop? I think its just a eye opener, as never seen anything like that ice before. Its really a force of nature. Keep truckin, I think your channel is chil
I had this problem during the winter in UK, the best tip i can give is keep both feet firmly on the ground and keep speed to a minimal. Soft snow is a warm welcome to compacted snow turned sheet ice. when you feel losing control dont pull the brakes try roll it out and push feet into the floor :D
@Oper969 There's a reason why we use spiked tyres on cars in winter in norway. That + softer rubber = winter tyres that grip better both on snow and ice. But yeah, riding a motorcycle in winter is challenging to say the least :p
@svengalie haaha dont listen to those idiots they clearly dont ride, i love how you arent ashamed of falling off its good stuff thanks for the videos!, makes me want to ride in the snow lol!
I'd recommend studded tires...that would be a really cool review for you to do! I live in Alaska. I've no idea how much they cost but i think they are made.
Looks like you had fun, most people wouldn't have the balls to ride in the snow like that. I had a "87" CR125 that I would take out in the snow got real cold but had a ton of fun doing it. I didn't always laugh when I fell but hey..
We used to ride our bikes after dark when it snowed so bad there was no traffic. What I never fabricated properly was mounts to hold skis on either side the rear wheel because it needed to adjust, because I either had too much floatation and no traction, or traction but skis so high I still tipped over. A ski on front gave little advantage when trying to run on snowy streets because a dry patch would throw you. Modern snowmobile skis might work better?
@calineophyte I mean no offence but don't you mean the use of my equipment? Understand this one video totals probably 14 days of riding (notice I change bike and clothes throughout the vid?) Anyone riding on ice without spikes is going to stack it, at those low speeds there's little or no danger of damage to me or the bike. I've bent the odd lever or two. The point is I'm having fun, any damage is the unfortunate but worthy price of that fun.
@svengalie Fair enough. It's just that there may be unseen pointy and or unyielding things under that snow. It may not be as soft and cushy as it appears. Have fun.
@svengalie Why don't you get snow tyres and offset the cost against the money you will be saving from not having to buy new levers all the times. To be honest to me it doesn't look like you are having "fun".
Please stop putting your hands out to break your fall! it will break your arm or hand. Just keep your arms tight across your body and let your torso take one for the team :)
I had dt 125r it is very good bike.However 2 years ago i was riding it in forest (in winter) and i slightly touched back breake.I crashed very hard dt lend on me and it was very painfull. I was liing there fol like 1 min. Then i get up sit on it bike but in another 20m i crashed again on my hip (on the same side). So from then on i dont ride bike on snow. However i sold that bike 1 year ago to 16 yo boy and after 3 months he send me message thet he crashed with it into a car he is disabled now
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
You suck ! i havent crash in this winter and i have been ride in my bike about 4000km in this winter and in finland we got lots of snow.(Sorry bad english).
@galbmw I have hours and hours and hours of footage of 'perfect' riding (well, perhaps not perfect but certainly not lobbing it every 5 seconds) but who wants to see that?
@svengalie i meant Demex. i was asking if he has the footage. but i agree who wants to see boring footage of riding. your stuff is A LOT more fun with all the falls. and going through some places no living being has been with your friends. i find that quite amazing.
that's funny. i used to drive a motorbike a bit, and sometimes in snow and ice. that was back when i lived near detroit, in the u.s.a., near the great lakes, near the border with the british territory of ontario ( the territory that has toronto in it ).
@coventrygardens If you haven't been keeping up with the news....Ontario is now no longer considered to be British territory. They've even come up with a whole new country...it's called CANADA! Maybe you've heard of it?
@yvwic50 i guess i was just being humorous, in a historically accurate sense.. anyway, ontario and a bunch of other canadian provinces still have the union jack in their flags, and the british monarch is on their money, and they have the governor general that the british monarch appoints. when i was a kid, i thought of canada as a country in its own right, but i changed my mind once i heard that its monarch is the british monarch.
@coventrygardens OK, maybe your humor is just a tad dry for me. But, it is quite a bit different to be a member of the Commonwealth than to be considered a British territory. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed your time around the Lakes; that is one of my favorite areas in all of North America, and it is on my "bucket list" to ride that area someday. But I'll stick to dry roads!
@yvwic50 i think maybe you were thinking that i'm british. actually my family left england and scotland in 1600s and 1700s, and we've lived in the u.s.a. ever since. i was raised around detroit, and now live in key largo. on the highway going through key largo, we often see motorbikers coming through. some of my mum's relatives are really into it. ( i chose the name "coventrygardens" because i used to live in a neighborhood called coventry gardens, which was near detroit. )
I was laughing until you said "ow"... Especially after seeing your broken leg video. *cringe*

@yvwic50 i think maybe you were thinking that i'm british. actually my family left england and scotland in 1600s and 1700s, and we've lived in the u.s.a. ever since. i was raised around detroit, and now live in key largo. on the highway going through key largo, we often see motorbikers coming through. some of my mum's relatives are really into it. ( i chose the name "coventrygardens" because i used to live in a neighborhood called coventry gardens, which was near detroit. )
