Nice one mate! Something is very wrong with the weather over here at the moment. When we moved i was told that i would only be able to ride up until the end of November cos the winter is just too harsh over here. Well i am stiull riding to work everyday and there hasn't been a single frost yet :?: :?:

The roads are awesome, although perhaps a little too straight. I have found a little 10 mile circuit which is quite good but nothing like home :cry: . Have got some new camera gear and when i get it working i'll post a vid on youtube and point you towards it. Glad you got out though mate.

Well done Tony, it was my first time out this year today also. How good it felt, I enjoyed every single minute of it and it sounds as if you did too :!: :D

Mellis the same thing over here, the weather is extremely mild still, probably won't last, especially after me mentioning it :!: :D

Funnily enough I took both my bikes out for just a tiny (blow the cobwebs away) run Yesterday (Saturday)

I did not know the weather was going to be as nice today (Sunday) as I had things I had to do.

Hopefully we'll have a few more good weekends soon. Mind you looks like another crap week ahead :(

As the Storm is undergoing winter maintenance, took the TDM up the Skeggy and back yesterday - about 200 miles round trip. Bit cold when I got back at 4.15, but good to be out and about!
Two bikes, still only four cylinders!
