Stuck in snow with scary MFD warnings

well if anything happens the bike or the rider's not stopping anytime soon either so it kind of cancels out...

Been there done thet teamy ,a long long time ago

Me to.
Then (several years later) I fitted a permanent outrigger to another bike, a sidecar
The three of us did 135,000 miles in 7 years on that (I meant to put 3 0s on the end of 135, it isn't a typo ).
It takes quite a bit of effort to flip a combo', well mine anyway and they don't fall over on slippery roads.

I was a squaddy, posted to Germany, where we stayed for the 7 years.
In that time we came back to the UK twice (1,000 mile trips). For the rest of my leave time we toured Europe, going to bike rallies all over the place I was able/allowed to travel to.
Our combo' was our only transport and on one of my postings it was a 2 mile drive just to get from our married quarter to the main gate. If we wanted to go anywhere at all, it was a choice of shanks pony or the combo' .

I had plenty of fun today aswell on the Desborough to Corby road (Welly and dogslife will know where i mean ) one of my work mates managed to go off road and slightly dint a telegraph pole so i tried to pull him back onto the road with my 406 and ended up going down a small slope and couldn't get any traction to get back up! luckily a 4x4 came along and pulled me back on the road but i think my mate had to wait for a friendly tractor he was pretty well beached. I really must stop over-estimating my cars abilities
