How Russian bikers treat motorcycle toxicosis
Motorcycle toxicosis is a painful condition that Russian motorcyclists fall into, who do not have the opportunity to ride their favorite iron horse in winter. And all because of the detrimental effect of snow, ice and low temperatures.
A long winter separates bikers from their faithful motorcycles for a long period. So Russian motorcyclists are forced to enjoy trips only from mid-April to early October. And no snowboarding, skiing or skating can compensate for the adrenaline in the blood, which appears only with the roar of the engine.

Margot Pankratova: "There are two reasons why I keep a motorcycle in my apartment. First of all, my daughter likes to look at it. Secondly, it will only deteriorate in the garage. In the end, suddenly one day you will have to sell it. So in winter, I prefer to keep him at my side."
Nikolay Kondratiev: "If the motorcycle is stored at home, then it is more convenient to repair it. No need to stay in the garage all the time. You can relax after work, doing what you love."
Ekaterina Arkhipova: "Every time I looked at a photo of a motorcycle in the middle of the living room, I dreamed that one day I would do the same. During my first "motozima" friends helped to drag the bike to the second floor. The neighbors smiled and looked with curiosity. Now, when guests come to me, they always admire the motorcycle in the apartment."
Alexander Nikolaevich: "If you have enough space in the apartment, why not experiment? The motorcycle creates its own atmosphere. And now I don't have to go to the garage to get the bike ready for the season."
Andrey Gulyaev: "I keep one of the motorcycles in an English school. And of course, he attracts everyone's attention. Students take pictures with him. Sometimes they ask you to sit and hold the steering wheel."
Anton Ilyin: "One of the rooms in my apartment is called the garage. That's where I go to relax after work and fix my bike. It makes it much easier to cope with motorcycle toxicosis and not go crazy waiting for summer."
Gennady Polivoda: "I drain all the fluids so as not to breathe all this. This saves money on maintenance, parking, etc., besides, you can keep an eye on your swallow yourself. You know she's fine."
