i could have sworn your bike was bigger last time I saw it ;).
Managed to ride in to work this afternoon, had to ditch the bike at work and get a lift home in a 4X4. It's bad out there we saw 4 cars crash (separately) on the A303 between Andover and Parkhouse turn off.

On a road bike.
You’d have a chance on a traily with some half decent nobblys on.

Wish I had an open fire instead of the horrible storage heaters, an open fire makes you feel warm just by looking at it. Boilers are evil little buggers, they always break at the worst possible time, its intentional on there part im sure, just like clutch cables always break in town traffic.
Hopefully this is Winter's last ditch attempt to remind us that we live on an island in the Northern Hemisphere ! We'll be eating ice cream at the beach before we know it :cool:

Lovely yesterday, even warm in the sun.
Tiny flurries of snow earlier but not pitching. Just cold / windy now. The flapping bike cover is keeping me awake.

It was almost feeling like spring over here yesterday .
"The flapping bike cover is keeping me awake." A bit more anaesthetic of an evening ? :)

Well finally managed to get the bike out today, ok it was only for the recall on the Brembo brake but at least it came out of the garage. Although did not manage to ride as much as i wanted, the brake recall and oil and filter service took over 3 hours.
Roll on the good weather now.......

Yes i have the bike and originally thought it was going to be 2 hours, then 3 1/2 hours later had looked at all the bikes in the showrooms. Ok thats not such a bad thing but would have been good to get out for a ride instead.
