Re: [postiebikes] Re: Snow Way! Crazy photo.- Gear

Hey Greg
Start with a short and easy trip, that way you realise it's easy.
Then tackle some hard stuff.
Like changing tyres, the hardest part is deciding to do it.
Luckily with flat tyres you have to sort it out.
Dont give yourself an option.

At least you dont have to pack for the cold up there!
We were riding in minus 6 for about 30 mins a few weeks back. Bloody cold.
I have never seen it that cold while riding before, it isnt too bad though on a postie.
When i was riding sports bikes near zero it was almost unbearable because of the windchill.
Posties rule in the cold.
Cheers
Josh

Josh,
 
It's not entirely out of the question down the track but at the moment no. I do enjoy roadtrip docco's & the stuff you guys do to get from A to B with the minimum amount of kit. I'm a fan - keep on keeping on - I may catch all you guys up one of these days!
 
All the best Greg.

... Hi Greg, Josh's list sounds pretty familiar as it's close to what I carry, except for the sub-zero gear (when it's that cold, I avoid bikes). For tools, my...

Hi Bernard,   I'm sure you could only get a kit that light after many years of preventative maintenance rather than breadowns, I'll bet!   The magnets & the...
