Those fat tyres don't help with those unexpected non grippy moments. Just started snowing here on the south coast, humungus flakes about an inch across! Either that or somebody has crashed a Robin Reliant around the corner.

Now, i'm not advocating that you start deliberately trying this on the road!!! However, if you do find an empty car park, it might pay to try some sensible experimentation with recovering from a slip by modulating the throttle rather than just trying to do doughnuts etc..... You never know when you might be glad you practiced!
