I am riding this 2025 Eliminator 500 since the beginning of December and can't wait for the hot season to hit some mountain pass!

I am lucky that below-zero temperatures are almost never seen here, but I mean, yeah, I don't think it's impossible, let me be clear. I just say it's more difficult, mainly I am a bit scared of ice in the road when it's really cold

I'm with you

With 16 I had such a 50ccm dirt bike (so nothing to compare to a real motorbike) and if missed the bus to school, I needed to drive with in those 25km

In spring and autumn this was fine, but in winter...
Once I just fell off it at the end of the ride, because I was too stiff to get move my legs accordingly.

As I was young and dumb, I obviously wore some jeans, but still, in low temperatures and shitty weather it just sucks to be that exposed to the elements
