    Wow Kate, I guess I will have to stop complaining when it reaches 32 Degrees Fahrenheit in Texas. We don’t really have anything for combating the Ice on the Roads here because it’s so rare. I would have been scared to death on those Roads. We had Snow actually stick a couple of Years ago down around Houston, and there were almost 2500 Accidents per Hour. No one knows how to drive in it. It’s so Rare. Loved the Video. You guys are Crazy.👍❤️

    @philliphicks3428 Год назад +9

    Holy mackerel Kate, I couldn't believe my eyes when you headed off out into those conditions. Being a motorcycle journalist in the UK is one tough gig. Have you and Mike ever thought of moving to Queensland?😊🇦🇺

  • @stuarthammond1009
    @stuarthammond1009 Год назад +3

    Well I know it's early but that is best 30mins video I have seen this year, and will take some beating!
    Have always followed your videos and love your positive attitude and enthusiasm for motorcycles. You are a shining star and you can attract new riders which our hobby definitely needs. Particularly love how you involve dad too !
    Totally agree about barmouth bridge have been doing it for years including when there was a tariff, you definitely feel like your breaking the law !
    Cannot wait for next video in this series.
    Thanks for your hard work and both of you ride safe and enjoy this crazy trip.

    You guys are awesome, so much respect for you embarking on this trip in those horrendous cold conditions, I will be really interested to see how the GT build quality holds up with all that salt etc, I have recently bought one of these and it still urks me that no heated grips as standard (although I know stuff needs to be built to a price), I ordered grips as an option and need to get them fitted by the dealer at the 1st service, all in all loved the vid, very informative and entertaining, looking forward to the next part 2

    Super video.....and very entertaining. Despite my 48 years of motorcycling, I take my hat off to both of you for a competent and progressive ride in those conditions! I winced when I seen the bikes covered in salty crud though! Hope you slapped loads of corrosion inhibitor before you left home. Looking forward to your next instalment. Thanks again.

    Much respect for the all-weather riding 👍👍. I rode my old gsxr in the Canadian snow years ago. Wasn't as horrible as I expected but my boss sent me home when it got really heavy. Would love to try it again with a more appropriate bike and tires.

  • @mum-0217

    That was crazy! Haha I don't mind riding in cold, but I'm not sure I would have had the grit to take off in that snow. But, I have to say, looks like an awesome trip.

    A shame the bikes didn't have heated grips or seats.
    I felt cold just watching this...I would likely struggle to stay focused if not warm enough & would be apprehensive on summer tyres.

    Oh wow Kate, when we get this weather in Canada we put the bikes away and take out the sleds (snowmobiles). Glad you and Mike made it safe
