Staff Blog: What are your Wiinter Riding Hints and Tips?

Updated: 20 November 2014

1 of 1

I’m just about to head off for my summer holiday and already I’m thinking of the weather turning and the nights drawing in.

I’m needing your help, tips and advice for prepping the Yamaha Fazer8 for winter riding. I usually resort to driving the car as soon as the weather changes but this year I’m planning to continue my daily commute on the bike.

Have you got one piece of kit you can’t live without or one top tip that will make winter riding more enjoyable? Send you ideas to me at alison.silcox@motorcyclenews.com (by the way you will get my out of office but I’ll reply on my return).

Thanks in advance for your help.

Office Manager and centre of the MCN universe - Over my twenty plus years working for MCN, I’ve had the pleasure of being part of the best motorcycling family in the business. Passing my test in 2005, I’ve been part of the MCN Long Term Test fleet, testing a mix of machines, from my first Kawasaki ER-6n, through to the Ducati Diavel, and pretty much all genres in between. I love nothing more than loading my bike up with kit and disappearing off for a solo adventure. Over recent years I’ve taken solo tours to Scotland, Southern Ireland, France, Venice and Berlin. All of which have been great fun and whet my appetite for future riding jaunts.
