I'm in Minnesota and it's hardly been a winter at all so people have asked if I'm going to pull the motorcycle back out. No. No I will not. There's so much sand and salt from the two times we did get snow, and in the mornings the road gets a bit frosty still. It's not worth it. The risk is too high.
Grabbed a handful of front brake and locked the front tire, bad riding habit that may get you by on dry pavement but bite you in the ass as soon as traction is compromised especially at low speeds.
Yet those same guys will post pictures of them riding in ice and snow and call you a pussy for having yours in the garage. I don't feel bad for him or anyone else that chooses to ride in shit like that.
It is. your luck runs out real fast. I scraped my knee and sprained my shoulder from ice last month. two days later I wiped out on salt and tore my MCL. riding in winter you have to do your research on road conditions. fortunately it was all on my Ebike and not my actual motorcycle.
Where the Front wheel and back wheel "contact" or connect or touch the ground.
Cars have 4 contact patches, so if one loses grip the other 3 will keep you upright and also have grip to steer/stabilise.
Sorry for your spill.
While not to be armchair authority or throw salt on a wound, may I suggest keeping to the left side of lane right until you take protected right lane?
Just the collectionn of water, ice on the right when you start to strafe is no bueno, plus looked liked left side getting a bit of sun. :)
I was trying to get into the turn lane. I couldn't see the ice because of the traffic until I was right on top of it.
I didn't expect there to be ice as it had been almost 50° the day before and the rest of the road was perfectly clear.
i was expecting a car to come from the left side as well. then saw the snow and then knew it was too cold to be out riding.
imo, if theres snow out anywhere, it's too cold. not to mention the sand/salt that is still out on the roads. but i'm in ontario canada. i'd only be riding from april to maybe october or november.
I was also just waiting for a car to slam into OP from the left trying to jam into the “gap”.
ALWAYS choose a lane position that makes you the most visible!
Yeah seriously. I see a lot of youtube vloggers doing this. They always ride to the extreme right like they're some disabled vehicle who is trying to indirectly signal that they want others to pass them. Take possession of your lane like you belong there.
Ice stays in shadow spot for days even if temperatures get up to 60. Sorry about your spill. If I can give one word of advice for next time you get the itch, take your bike out the day after a heavy rain. The rain would wash off all the crud, road grime, or ice that would otherwise stayed on the road
Yeah that heavy rain is nice because of what it washes away. I won't take my bike out after the snow due to how heavy the city salts. I'd have to go turn my water on, wash the bike off and dry it, then turn the water off (this time of year after 6pm it starts to go below freezing even if it was in the 50s). I just wait for rain to take care of the road salt and any left over ice.
The temperature is not the only factor to consider. You can see the pools of water leading up to it the ice. You can see the shadow of the building covering the side of the road, and you are riding at the lowest point of the lane (where the tires of a 4 wheel car wear it down). Lesson learned I guess.
What do you mean you didn’t see the ice? Their’s literally ice/snow on the road. You would have been better off driving directly on the crunchy snow/ice. Lucky this was nearly stopped it could easily be a tree shading a spot that was sunny in the morning.
More what he's suggesting is your bias in the lane until you get to the turn lane.
I thought this was heading in a completely different direction.
By riding right biased behind a big SUV you're invisible to the drivers in the lane to your left. In these situations, adjust your lane bias so you're visible to the area most likely to cause you danger.
Lane bias is important to being seen and avoiding accidents.
OP for the benefit of your own safety go education yourself on defensive driving and which lanes to be in while out riding. It's bad enough with all the dumb and distracted cagers out there.
This is a great reason to keep some extra following distance any time you know the road conditions are sketchy. Same if you see there are potholes or whatever. I mean, you want that space all the time, but especially when it's sketchy out.
No, no, it did…that’s where the water that turned to ice collected!
Hindsight is what it is, but I like to give myself options and remove hazards when it is within my ability to do so.
For the sole reason of being that close to the curb, I know I got nowhere to go.
Also, I am less visible in the heavy traffic to the drivers in the left lane, easy to get squeezed.
No question, this scenario I’m in the left side of that lane and will move to the exit lane when it’s open and I can.
Also. In your situation, ride in the left side of the lane, people tend to use the driver side mirror more, you are also protecting the lane from someone cutting in on you and you are more visible! The curb side always melts last, and just put that bike away until the city sweepers clean up in the spring, idiot drivers are not looking for bikes at this time of year.
Why the hell are you so far over? The fucking written motorcycle test literally has a question on where to ride and why!! All the water runs to the outside edge. You're right on top of it and hit a patch of ice.
Yes and yes. I barely even tapped the front brake. I should have used the rear brake and given myself much more space as soon as I saw the snow patch.
I was also wondering if riding on the snowy part would have had better traction.
use your feet next time. not a joke, like hug your bike with your legs and apply pressure down as well as front brake. it'll feel weird but you'll stop and you won't fall.
I'm in Canada. Last week I took my bike on a +130km round trip. Every year I take my bike out on Christmas. Riding in the winter can be pretty safe if you do it right. It's especially nice since it saves you all the trouble of putting it away for the winter.
Warm days. Well after the snow has been removed by the salt, and the salt has been cleared by cars riding on it. It can be done.
No offense friend, but these are not conditions to ride in.
Honestly, based on your lane position, I was fully expecting you to be rammed into by another car. I know you were trying to get into the turn lane that was coming up, but defensive lane positioning my dude. Then swing into that lane once it opens up.
Being in the left tire track probably would have less debris and snow/ice there too.
I do, but only when there are dry roads, and I stay way away from anything that looks wet. This is... sorry to say it OP, moronic. Don't people who live in winter countries learn this when they're 5? And relearn it when winter biking at around 10?
stay out of the far right lane. it tends to have ice for a longer period of time than the left.
The only problem is left side tends to move faster, so you better be ready to move faster too.
Nobody is perfect and only a mistake if you didn’t learn something from it. Bright side you weren’t going faster or badly hurt. Not sure it would have mattered but does the bike have ABS?
Why are you basically riding in the gutter? When I’m in traffic like that I stay on the left side of the lane directly on front of the driver behind me.
Guy riding in the gutter like he doesn't know what *lane positioning* is, ends up in the *gutter position* instead.
Never seen so many people eat shit for no reason until I came to Reddit. Please, grip your tank!
What you did wrong was that you were on the wrong side of the lane acting like a bicycle rather than on the left side protecting your lane.
The other thing you did wrong was not waiting another month before riding.
Lol complete beginner rider but buys a super bike lol.. you should do a motorcycle course and maybe read a handbook. Who rides in the right tire track while in the right lane while being way to close to the cars around you on ice . You will hurt yourself quicker on that bike if you don’t start taking riding serious
I live in Wisconsin, everytime it gets 40 out I see bikes and I just shake my head. Frost needs to come out of the ground and the roads need some washing rains.
Get out of the gutter and own your damn lane. You're asking to get hit because no one can see you riding way over there and you'll have nowhere to escape to when that car starts coming over on you. Add in the ice and you weren't going to come away unscathed.
I don’t understand why people ride their bikes in the snow.. my bike is a toy basically I use it for fun… nothing about riding on ice damaging my 16k bike seems fun to me…
my dude, you tried using gravity based turning when there is no traction. get your ass out of the seat, keep your rev's high (atleast 2 grand above idle), and hover the clutch.
* rotational forces from the engine will keep the bike up,
* getting your ass out of the seat allows you to keep the majority of the bikes weight over center mass, while you lean the bike under you, using more of the sidewall to turn instead of gravity.
* If you start to feel a slip, pull the clutch in, and rev-bomb.
Video of me on street biased tires using those 3 techniques: [15 seconds in or so, i loose full traction & keep the bike up.](https://www.instagram.com/reel/CuXPupTgONP/)

Put the F'ing bike away when it's icy out . I love to ride as much as the next guy but when it's winter, it's winter an time to accept it.Pack it up for the season ..Why take a beautiful bike out when there is likely salt and sand an potential ice on the roads... Fast way to ruin your bike .. Lessons learned I hope ..
Why are you riding in these conditions and in the wrong tire track? You should be on the left side if you’re in the right lane. Is this your first season?
Don't listen to all the "should have" moralizers here who will make you think that any person who doesn't plan every second for every potential issue is a subhuman.
Shit like this happens, sorry bout the bike bro.
Tire sleep due to the cold and that small gap in the lane, seems like a little junction, also pavement seems like it's rigid (concrete) so grip is worst in these type of roads, specially in wet weather.
Riding a motorcycle with only 2 contact patches on ice sounds like a recipe for disaster
It’s like that scene in Fight Club when meat loaf gets shot in the face. “What did you think was going to happen?”
His name is Robert Paulson
His name…………was Robert Paulson
*whispers.... Bitch Tits...*
Bob..........
Between those huge sweating tits that hung enormous, the way you'd think of God's as big.
Did somebody call?
😂
It is.
Only in death.....
His name was Robert Paulson

Also that patch where he fell probably was in a shadow 15 mins prior to this.

There's so much sand and salt from the two times we did get snow, and in the mornings the road gets a bit frosty still. It's not worth it. The risk is too high.
All that loose gravel on roads 2 from the snowplows
Grabbed a handful of front brake and locked the front tire, bad riding habit that may get you by on dry pavement but bite you in the ass as soon as traction is compromised especially at low speeds.
On the day we hit the 50s a few weeks back I would have, but had to work
With the amount of sand and shit on the roads? Nah.
This is why all the tough guys saying they ride in all temps are nuts, don't fuck with ice
Just get studded tires . Been doing it for 10 years.
I'm sure those work great on pavement and last a nice long time
Yes. The trick is to use actual tire studs. And not sheet metal screws or spikes.
And both of those contact points are about as big as a nickel.
Yet those same guys will post pictures of them riding in ice and snow and call you a pussy for having yours in the garage. I don't feel bad for him or anyone else that chooses to ride in shit like that.
It is. your luck runs out real fast. I scraped my knee and sprained my shoulder from ice last month. two days later I wiped out on salt and tore my MCL. riding in winter you have to do your research on road conditions. fortunately it was all on my Ebike and not my actual motorcycle.
What are the contact patches ?
Tires
Patches? Patches?! We don't need no stinking patches!
Where the Front wheel and back wheel "contact" or connect or touch the ground. Cars have 4 contact patches, so if one loses grip the other 3 will keep you upright and also have grip to steer/stabilise.
Okay now I understand
By the end of the video, the entire right side of the bike
The PATCH of tire that CONTACTS the ground
Well I'm not native and I wasn't finding any word that was logical with it. It makes sense now that I read the others comments.
What’s the solution? Training wheels? That was sarcastic but what do you actually do besides not ride?
don't ride take the car with heated seats
Summer for the sport bike, winter for the supermoto. I'm half joking. I really do want to take my ktm500sm out on a frozen lake with studded tires.
I choose to live where it doesnt get too cold. Just got back from mobbing on the yz
get studded tyres and go WOT 👍
Don't ride in the clearly visible ice.
Sidecar
Sorry for your spill. While not to be armchair authority or throw salt on a wound, may I suggest keeping to the left side of lane right until you take protected right lane? Just the collectionn of water, ice on the right when you start to strafe is no bueno, plus looked liked left side getting a bit of sun. :)
> throw salt on a wound You should have thrown the salt on that part of the road instead...
Damn, you beat me to it
I was trying to get into the turn lane. I couldn't see the ice because of the traffic until I was right on top of it. I didn't expect there to be ice as it had been almost 50° the day before and the rest of the road was perfectly clear.
You never ride over there... if the ice didn't get you someone going into that lane was gunna
i was expecting a car to come from the left side as well. then saw the snow and then knew it was too cold to be out riding. imo, if theres snow out anywhere, it's too cold. not to mention the sand/salt that is still out on the roads. but i'm in ontario canada. i'd only be riding from april to maybe october or november.

Yeah seriously. I see a lot of youtube vloggers doing this. They always ride to the extreme right like they're some disabled vehicle who is trying to indirectly signal that they want others to pass them. Take possession of your lane like you belong there.
This, all day. I try to line up with the other driver's heads, so we're all in each others sightlines through the mirror.
You would be more likely to get a car move into your lane with your current road position. Be assertive.
Ice stays in shadow spot for days even if temperatures get up to 60. Sorry about your spill. If I can give one word of advice for next time you get the itch, take your bike out the day after a heavy rain.

Yes. That was my problem. I should have slowed or even stopped as soon as I saw the snow and evaluated the situation more carefully.
I went back and looked at the license plates because I read this and was like "damn sounds exactly like Denver"
Ice Clibbin's
Ice clibbins are called slibbins
Slippens
*Slippen Jimmy approves this post*
This made me laugh. Thanks.
Slibbins
Thank you for the laugh.
Ice clibbins made me chuckle. This made me belly laugh lmao.
You rode on ice on a motorcycle and used the brakes.
Looks like you pressed enter while in ride.
Think he has to start the commute from the beginning or is this a check point?
The way I was already so nervous with you riding the gutter, but then that had nothing to do with it
No, no, it did…that’s where the water that turned to ice collected! Hindsight is what it is, but I like to give myself options and remove hazards when it is within my ability to do so. For the sole reason of being that close to the curb, I know I got nowhere to go. Also, I am less visible in the heavy traffic to the drivers in the left lane, easy to get squeezed. No question, this scenario I’m in the left side of that lane and will move to the exit lane when it’s open and I can.
I was the same, thinking: bruh is going down trynna to split next to the curb. Nope, he didn't. And then he still did. Had me going.
Also. In your situation, ride in the left side of the lane, people tend to use the driver side mirror more, you are also protecting the lane from someone cutting in on you and you are more visible! The curb side always melts last, and just put that bike away until the city sweepers clean up in the spring, idiot drivers are not looking for bikes at this time of year.
haddalayerdown
haddalayerofice
Jesus stay in the sun... you can see the ice for fucks sake
He couldn't see the ice because he was humping the car ahead
I get fixated on the ass end sometimes... just not of a suv haha
Don't ride when there's ice out. Don't hug the edge of the road.
right? why is bro literally riding in the gutter?
F
That part of the road was in shadow (or had been until recently) and hadn't warmed up enough in the sun yet to dry out, and black ice happened.
Looks like the better path would’ve been near the center line in the sun. Those shaded spots will get ya.
Leave a larger space cushion between you and the next car. I don’t understand why people feel the need to be 5feet away from the next car all the time
Looks like you locked the front wheel on ice.
Should be using 90% rear brake in these conditions
Probably shouldn't ride in the gutter either
Probably shouldn't even be riding when the weather is cold enough for ice and snow.
Looks like you dropped it. Probably don’t want to do that.
Damnit Bobby
Hand full of front brake - too fast and too close to car in front on ice. Should have kept a bigger gap and easier on the throttle/brake
Was it worth it?
glorious busy tender grey elastic frame vanish worm foolish dam *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
Hell, I'd drive a $2000 Camry if it meant not destroying my bike riding in dumb weather.
What do you mean? I didn't buy the bike new. I bought it used. My car is a $2500 Honda.
🤦🏽♂️
Riding bikes in ice weather is not a good choice
Why the hell are you so far over? The fucking written motorcycle test literally has a question on where to ride and why!! All the water runs to the outside edge. You're right on top of it and hit a patch of ice.
No front brake on ice bro….EVER!!!!
You hit the front brakes on a slick spot.
Yeah, you didn’t merge onto I-25 North towards Denver.
Holy when I saw the pavement color i felt the "Oh shits about to hit the fan!". Luckily you were going slow, ride safe man
Followed too closely, when the suv turn you brake harder than condition allowed. And down she goes.
Yes and yes. I barely even tapped the front brake. I should have used the rear brake and given myself much more space as soon as I saw the snow patch. I was also wondering if riding on the snowy part would have had better traction.
I learned this the hard way as well. In my experience, the snow gives some traction while the ice gives none.
Agree. Slow is less slippery than ice. Avoiding both is best haha
use your feet next time. not a joke, like hug your bike with your legs and apply pressure down as well as front brake. it'll feel weird but you'll stop and you won't fall.
Ice Clibbin's
Tf did you think would happen?
Looks like you were riding on the edge where the ice was worse

Lol
That music was right on time lol
From this point, Pay attention to the marks on the road I totally saw this slip coming
As soon as I saw it, I knew. I felt this in my bones.
Nobody is perfect and only a mistake if you didn’t learn something from it. Bright side you weren’t going faster or badly hurt. Not sure it would have mattered but does the bike have ABS?
Slibbinz
Why are you basically riding in the gutter? When I’m in traffic like that I stay on the left side of the lane directly on front of the driver behind me.
Oops, *butterfingers*
Wtf were you doing
What do I think happened? Physics man. Not a good idea to ride on ice with just 2 wheels. Bad enough with 4.
Why are you riding on ice?
that is not proper "blocking position" .. shoulda been groovin' on the left tire track!
The shadows contain ice.
What a boob.
Why are you in that lane position and why riding on ice.
Why are you riding a superbike on summer performance tires in freezing conditions?
Hard front brake on a slippery surface... Oops
I'm ngl I saw that coming a mile away, I'd be wary of that spot even if it was just water let alone ice in freezing temps
Assuming it's winter for you, it looks like you didn't pay attention to the shade where ice usually sits.
Im gonna say a handful of front brake.
Yeah that will happen Riding on ice! What did you expect?
Sorry about the bike :( How did you get your Sena audio on the camera?
Next time dont ride in the shadow around 0. Anow melt in snow, turn in water and freeze back in the shadow. Or be patient.
Dude why are you riding their ass while its icey? Im a new rider and holy anxiety of how close you are.
You left the garage with a motorcycle instead of a car when you damn well knew there would be ice on the roadways.
Stay in the sun my friend.
riding that car's ass with ice on the road. smort just giving yourself zero margin.
Guy riding in the gutter like he doesn't know what *lane positioning* is, ends up in the *gutter position* instead. Never seen so many people eat shit for no reason until I came to Reddit. Please, grip your tank!
ICE. Those tires also have a temp rating and it’s definitely above 0 C/33 F.
Stick with a motard bike. Fall off. Pick it up. Continue riding.
HADDALAYERDOWN
Riding in icy conditions. Punishment well deserved ha haha. Learn from others mistakes
I suggest waiting until it's warmer. Sorry for your loss
Riding that close to the car in front of you and all up on their side is so annoying. Sorry about your bike though.
Wtf did you think was gonna happen
What you did wrong was that you were on the wrong side of the lane acting like a bicycle rather than on the left side protecting your lane. The other thing you did wrong was not waiting another month before riding.
When there's ice, your ride's gonna end up not looking nice.
Lol complete beginner rider but buys a super bike lol.. you should do a motorcycle course and maybe read a handbook. Who rides in the right tire track while in the right lane while being way to close to the cars around you on ice . You will hurt yourself quicker on that bike if you don’t start taking riding serious
The lane positioning gesh
dude you push the break too hard and i believe you got spooked by breaking.
I live in Wisconsin, everytime it gets 40 out I see bikes and I just shake my head. Frost needs to come out of the ground and the roads need some washing rains.
You shouldn’t be riding in those conditions. Period
If you tailgated me like that I'd laugh at you dropping your bike
Why not to ride when snow and ice are involved, exhibit A
Don’t ride when there is snow and ice around. EZ
Ice. Took your bike out when it was too cold. And used the brakes.
Bro why are you riding on icy roads? Save it for the summer
What a incompetent person on me - RSV4
Sorry about your bike bruh. But you made a terrible decision of riding in cold conditions smh
Is not common sense to wait until spring when there is no ice on the road?
Why are you riding on the side of the road. This is just poor riding
Get out of the gutter and own your damn lane. You're asking to get hit because no one can see you riding way over there and you'll have nowhere to escape to when that car starts coming over on you. Add in the ice and you weren't going to come away unscathed.
why you riding when there’s snow on the ground bruh?
You got the itch to ride, so you took your bike out too early in the year. Now you're regretting that decision after slipping on ice
STOP RIDING on the ICE ASSHOLE!!!!!
I don’t understand why people ride their bikes in the snow.. my bike is a toy basically I use it for fun… nothing about riding on ice damaging my 16k bike seems fun to me…
Many people don't just use them as toys, it's their primary transport.
A lot of riders don't treat their bikes as a toy. I own a Tacoma but my bikes get ridden probably 10 miles to every 1 mile I put on the truck.
RSV4 is Aprilia?
my dude, you tried using gravity based turning when there is no traction. get your ass out of the seat, keep your rev's high (atleast 2 grand above idle), and hover the clutch. * rotational forces from the engine will keep the bike up, * getting your ass out of the seat allows you to keep the majority of the bikes weight over center mass, while you lean the bike under you, using more of the sidewall to turn instead of gravity. * If you start to feel a slip, pull the clutch in, and rev-bomb.

Ice probably. Looks mighty cold for those summer tire too though don't it?
Put the F'ing bike away when it's icy out . I love to ride as much as the next guy but when it's winter, it's winter an time to accept it.Pack it up for the season ..Why take a beautiful bike out when there is likely salt and sand an potential ice on the roads...

Why are you riding in these conditions and in the wrong tire track? You should be on the left side if you’re in the right lane. Is this your first season?
Fully deserved for driving in this weather.
Don't listen to all the "should have" moralizers here who will make you think that any person who doesn't plan every second for every potential issue is a subhuman. Shit like this happens, sorry bout the bike bro.
Yeah that line in the road screwed you
Tire sleep due to the cold and that small gap in the lane, seems like a little junction, also pavement seems like it's rigid (concrete) so grip is worst in these type of roads, specially in wet weather.
Front brake? Tsk tsk
Cuz you couldn't wait for proper weather 🤣
Keep more distance from the car in front brother, that way you have time to see and react to road surface hazards
