Accel and decell
Get into corners gently and get on the gas. it does not take more than about 10 miles to bet the slippery stuff off and start to get some heat into them.

You guys go to all that trouble???

I start off slow and build up the pace over a few km.... on a dry day, in the afternoon when it's as warm as it's going to get. Hate fitting new tyres in the winter, that said.

Never had a 'moment', so I guess it's as good a system as any!
Still, if you like washing bikes, wash away :poke
