Actually, the City Grip 2s are marked M+S, so they are proper winter tires.
Caught 2 days of snow last winter on my HD300 (actually, it was already spring) and my biggest concern was not skidding, but encountering the police.
I took a fall on my bike 4 years ago, riding on packed snow with patches of ice. The result : a broken hip, surgery and the classic metal brace that I still have. After that, I became over-cautious with the protective gear. Even during the summer, you'd see me geared up as if I was leaving for some grand adventure, when, in fact, I'm prepared for a 20min. ride to work :)
Never checked to see if myne have M+S on them :)))
Back in the 60s there was an accessory windshield for Vespa that had a glass insert with a thumb operated wiper.
I need to research this :D
Love your snow riding comments, Romanian snow laws, rationale, (been there done that)! Very unique & special video, great ride, it was fun! Best, Rola (Oregon / USA) a year after the fact……..(was like yesterday).👍🏻
I understand your sense of humor. Thank you.
good advice. happy you're here too.
Thank you! :)
nice tutorial Alex, Looking forward to seeing the ADX in this type of environment
We'll see when winter comes.
@@RideWithAlex I am off to the bike shop tmro to maybe buy the adx 😁 in black
Your personality is top notch! Good example for others-great review
Thabky you :D
@@RideWithAlex watching your iron butt challenge now-impressive!
Great to see all year round riding videos. We have been really lucky this year in Scotland with not a lot of snow at lower levels. My Fiddle 125 did prove to be reasonably good even in the little snow that we got at sea level.
I'm thinking of changing bike this year and would like your opinion on the following decision I'm think I'm going to have to make - HD300 or Joyride 300 16?
I like the HD300 more, I don't like the seating position of the Joyride. It's a bit weird but go to a dealer and sit on one see if you fit on it.
Good evening bro! Nice video!
Thank you! :D
Hey man i really love your videos you have such a positive attitude! What country do you live as i thought it might be somewhere with a warm climate all year but now i see snow? i live in England where it gets like this also, I am looking to buy a 125 scooter for mostly "fun" riding but its a hard choice with so many options
Hello and thank you for the kind words. I live in Romania, in Bucharest the capital :)
@@RideWithAlex oh very cool, I would like to visit Romania one day.
Closest I have been geographically is Croatia but I know that is still pretty far away, your English is perfect! Ride safe
To your credit, I have never seen anyone driving in the snow. I have a Peugeot Satelis RS 250cc, I drove it in the rain and heavy downpour in the summer, in the rain in the winter, but I still haven't tried it in the snow (and I don't think I will 😅).. .BTW I hope you feel a little better after the loss of a loved one and I'm glad to see you moving on.Greetings from Mostar.
I do what I have to do get to work :D. Can't say necessarily better but time heals all wounds and live goes on, we keep the memory of our loved ones alive and keep pushing on. I feel we learn to live with the loss and keep enjoying life.
Hi Alex. Thanks for the great videos. Do you ride with winter tyres? What do you think of Michelin citygrip 2 for all seasons? I use winter tyres on my MP3 for years now but would like to try a 4 season one as more practical maintenance wise... Thank you!
In this clip i was in city grip 2, they work just fine for me at least 🤷🏻♂️
love your videos specialy the one with the bmw. i also got one. Year 96. 67t km on the clock. I am waiting for the Spring to ride it. I also want to change my oils and all fluids. Can you make a video where you make a service on brutus?
I will try to make a video about the service when I actually do it :)
@@RideWithAlex yes please do a service. Brutus needs it
@@steindlluca3480 actually he still has 5000km to his next service :))
Да, везёт вам парни. А у нас в Сибири в декабре -42
Good to see Donnie 🛵
Heated seat?
Not yet, haven't upgraded the seat.
Fortunately we don't have such winter in Dubai 😀👌
You are a lucky man :))
Salut Alex, in plimbarile spre Milan de exemplu .. a fost taxa pt autostrada din Ungaria in colo ?
Da in toate tarile am avut ceva de plata mai putin serbia si croația. In rest in Italia am platit autostrazile (doar alea se platesc), slovenia, austria si ungaria au rovinieta pentru moto.
@@RideWithAlex multumesc
In Sympony st200i many are having a problem with oil leak cause the double stand hits the engine so they have to change the flange. Do you know anything about this? Is there a permanent solution so not happen again?
I have heard about the center stand being a problem even saw one with the problem. Happily mine was not affected by the issue and as far as I know for affected models there's a new updated center stand.
Salut Alex. Ce casca ai in video? Si merita cumpărata? Vad ca e un Scorpion.
Scorpion exo-city si o folosewc de vreo 3 ani si n-am nici un plan sa o schimb, este casca de oras pe care o folosesc zilnic. Foarte multumit de ea.
Salut! Si eu merg iarna cu scuterul doar ca nu atunci cand e zapada sau gheata. Printre altele e si ilegal :))
Shhhh, zapada era pe linia de tramvai si pe trotuar =)))
The windshield will be destroyed quite quickly if you put a wiper on it. Hand wiper is good!
Good point :)
which mounting base for mobile phone you use
Quadlock
Hey Alex another awesome video. Guess what, after my traffic accident I got rid of my Jet. X 125 and got Donnie's little brother, the ST 125 L/C same colour. I am loving it. I put a 29 litre topbox and with the room underneath the seat I can bring home about four grocery bags. The only thing is that it came with a factory defect left plastic cover ( paint bubbling), which the dealer will happily replace. Apart from that I am also getting Michelin city grip 2 because I love them. I had them i the JET X. I don't have a name yet for Donnie's little brother. Any suggestions? Finally at some point I am thinking of buying the NHT 300 for an adventure bike. Stay warm and safe.
Nice :D, glad to hear you like the ST. Also the NH-T 300 is a great option for a beginner ADV Bike. It's very easy to take off road and have a lot of fun with it.
@@RideWithAlex My thinking exactly. Let's see how it pans out!
what's that attached under your helmet go pro?
The camera is a gopro yes, and the communication system is a Cardo PackTalk Bold.
@@RideWithAlex what the wire coming out , I take it its a microphone adapter of some kind
@@justdoit8889 it's the lav mic going into the adapter for the gopro
Greetings my eastern neighbour.. I think it's not minus, because the road couldn't be wet... Maybe minus in the air but on surface temperature is above zero... Anyway nice video...
Of course it's air temperature. Ground level is a bit above freezing
10:00 hello 😁
:)))
Abia aștept să îl conduc pe al meu. E pe undeva acolo, la voi în depozit.
Sta la caldurica :))
Cam așa ceva. Așteaptă primăvară.

@@RideWithAlex thank you , in Turkey doesnt have :(
Здраво Алекс. 👍
😁
@@RideWithAlex I hope you're feeling a little better after the bad events of late. Whenever you feel bad, come to Belgrade to drink coffee and Serbian brandy.👍
@@rilson80 it's a bit cold for travels at the moment, but for the moment I'm doing ok-ish getting back into the rythm of life.
@@RideWithAlex I have a similar experience and that several times, some things we can't change😔... It sounds corny, but the fact is that life goes on😔... Stay strong...💪👍
Am iesit si eu cu MP3 ul sapt asta la -5 in FR.. no problem.. am prins si polei si gheata .. Legea in RO zice ca n-ai voie pe 2 roti pe drumurile acoperite de zapada si gheata... Joke's on them
Se poate cu orice daca adaptezi viteza si stilul de mers la conditiile de drum, asta e valabil si pt cei care imi spun ca "iarna nu poti sa incalzesti gumele si nu au aceeasi aderenta ca vara"
Serios? indiferent de categorie (bicicletă, A1, A2, etc.) daca are 2 roți nu ai voie când e zăpadă afară?
@@TheEragoon eu asa mi-am luat avertismente si mi s-a mai spus de catre domni polițai in anii trecuți.
@@RideWithAlex Tu tehnic/logic aveai dreptate, in lege scrie ca e interzis"să circule atunci când partea carosabilă este acoperită cu polei, gheaţă sau zăpadă". OUG195/2002 art 161. Nu zice de trotuare si sine de tramvai. Dar probabil ca depinde si cu cine ajungi sa dezbati :)
@@tipsyone1 la cat de putini nebuni suntem pe vremea asta ne cam lasă în pace 😂
Top sped ?? Sym 200st
100km/h
Facand un calcul matematic cu teorema probabilitatii, mai mare sansa este sa mori pana ajungi la o agentie loto sa iti depui biletu,decat sa castigi premiul cel mare. Hai sa fim serios daca esti văcar nici vara nu esti in stare sa mergi pe 2 roti. Asta e ca faza aia lui Marius cand intreaba pe forumuri: ba reusesc sa traversez 3 țări cu un scuter de 300? Aaaa nuu domneee..esti un inconstient....o sa cadă motoru...o sa ia foc.....n.o sa iesi nici din țară.:))))) Tare curios sunt, ce ar fi zis superbaikării pe forumuri daca ai fi intrebat,daca e posibil sa ajung in Georgia oe un scuter de 150?:)))).... Totul este despre sa vrei,sa iti doresti, sa te bucuri de ce motor ai indiferent de ce spun alti. Bafta Alex.
Sau daca poate scuterul asta sa faca 1700km in 24 de ore 😂😂😂😂
Buy a car like normal people.
How about nooooo
I have two. Still prefer the scooter 😂
Hello! I dont know if you ll see this but I wanted to ask you which gear do you use?
you helped me chose a scooter which i now use for work!
For the winter ride to work I have some mountain pants and boots from decathlon, a t-shirt a sweater and a leather jacket above it and some leather gloves. It's good enough for the 20 minute ride to work.
