Over the last couple of years, there's always been one or two on here each year that have succumbed to greasy roads and bent their precious
work.
Take it easy guys....

the chance to drive if far enough or fast enough to bend it would be a fine thing at the moment!
As reported elsewhere - I went out for a drive the other day, and it was VERY greasy! Had to be ultra-cautious on the bends, and even then it was
snaking under straight-ahead acceleration.
Maybe this heavier rain will de-grease the roads a bit... hopefully.

It'll be a BEC with 15"(or bigger!) wheels, too wide for common sense, with rubber band profile tyres, and the suspension will be set up way
too stiff!!

Syd,
I agree with your theory... but I was having enough trouble with 13" wheels and 185/70 tyres!

Not trying to pigeon hole anyone, but the ones that I remember seem to be people who have gone out and bought a BEC ready built. Maybe non bikers who
arnt used to the power curve of a bike engine. The engine comes on cam round a corner, low profile tyres and big wheel that look bling lose grip
without warning and next thing they are looking back where they came from down in the ditch.
Of course not all the winter wipeouts are like this!
Car engines tend to have a friendlier power curve to the un initiated.
All IMHO before i get flamed!
And of course, we havent really had any winter yet!
There are daffodils sprouting in my M-I-L's garden...
