Well, it was a bit chilly (-2C) but the sun was shining so I got all togged up, backed the bike out of the garage and then found I was standing on ice and the bike just span the back wheel as soon as I let the clutch out. I couldn�t go forward and my boots were slipping too much to go back! Very gingerly I got the side stand down, balanced the bike on it and slithered off to get some ashes to throw round the 2heels. It all worked out, as you can see, but I WILL have a good look before I back out next time!DFFE8E73-1E94-4CBC-A4CB-ACF533A20F87.jpeg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)

This is where I try to figure out how to get the bike back in the garage :)

No sweat: the bit right in front of the door had a 6� wide clear strip: once I was turned around it was easy!
