    My WB165 impresses me every ride. It is my gnar bike as in the best bike to be on when things get ugly. I have relentlessly thrashed this bike though endless mud and snow and it keeps asking for me. there is a really big snotty snow covered climb to get here. My KTM 250 riding buddy needed several tries at several sections to get here when my little bike that could just chugged up them like "what?" Love it.

    BTW KTM buddy tells me his temp guage for his bike would not get above 83 degrees unless he pinned it for a while and then would get to 100. It was 21 degrees out. A thermostat would be recommended for these rides.

    Slick, cold and not recommended. First 15 miles were fun last 15 was a death march back to the truck heater. 21 degrees is hard to stay comfortable in.

    I wish I had had some on a short road section we were on. Lost the front end and went down kinda hard on frozen ice covered pavement. Rang my bell a little. Sucked.

    That's the one thing I don't like about riding in below freezing conditions, the ground is rock hard and at times you can go down so quick and so hard you really don't have any time to do anything about it until you are on the ground feeling groggy, sore, and wondering what the hell just happened.

    These last couple of days of below freezing weather out here have reminded me that I don't really like riding on frozen ground. Might have to update my posts on that "Who likes to ride in the nasty winter weather?" thread, LOL.

    I used to commute on my WR250X. When it was full blown snowing I'd take my wife's car to work (I got caught plenty of times riding home from work lol). My street wasn't plowed yet so normally I'd ride on the sidewalks. Well I stayed on the road and went down so fast I didn't know what happened. the bike dragged me down the hill while I was counting driveways lol

    Seriously I love riding in crap weather. Even when I had sportbikes I rode all year. I just can't even think of putting a bike away for the winter.
