Purchasing classics there

Motorcycling in the winter: That's not cool, it can just add a dimension to your passion. In terms of temperature, it is also good to do with the motorcycle clothing of today and the fact that you can also ride an 12V classic with electrically heated gloves.

Delicious on the road in winter

In winter there are always meetings. They are not visited by hipsters or would-be figures, but by men who realize that it is best not to undress for three days for trivialities such as taking a shower. These strikes are in the greatest conflict with current safety and health thinking. Wood fires fill the air with smoke and fine dust. The diet consists mainly of fatty bites and a lot of pleasantly charred meat. More alcohol is also drunk than at youth meetings of the EO. We already heard: “He's Bob. He is completely paralyzed." And that lamb fits nicely in the Christmas mood. Bob looked fuzzy, but satisfied.

In the winter motorcycling is best on a sidecar combination. But it also works fine on two wheels, as long as you don't use the front brake and the rear brake. Furthermore, communication between man and machine must be such that the driver informs his two-wheeler subtly at most about the possible route to be chosen. Such a motorcycle knows best how to ride.

Rinse when coming home

Out of respect for your motorcycle, it makes sense to rinse it thoroughly after a cold event. Simply, with lots of lukewarm water. Bear in mind that lukewarm water also freezes and can turn the garage path into a slide. And let's be happy with the fact that we drive classics. A well-known driver did that last winter with his newly purchased BMW. After the winter, the machine no longer looked and the blue and white displayed a range of electronic malheur.

When Gert first complained to the dealer, and later to the importer, he encountered incomprehension: “But you rode it in the winter! ” Modern motorcycling has definitely become a life style thing. Motorcycling in the winter? With a brand new A-brand engine? How does such a motorcyclist come up with the idea?
