Its official its cold!

Post by Beamish »

Just got back from the middle east and couldnt wait to give the red Baron a good blast...........30 miles later I could not wait to park him back in the garage! God, my hands were in agony! I know there are super winter gloves and heated grips blah blah blah but not only was it blummin freezing but the roads were dogg egg as well. Looks like its tinker in the garage time until the 10 plus degree weather returns :cry:

Oh yeh....good to be home :D

I take it back......I had a cracking ride this afternoon, then got my bike out 8O . No seriously I borrowed some winter gloves off a friend and did about 45 miles, apart from the salt on the roads and a few squirms trying to get the power down too quickly it was an enjoyable experience. Maybee I will not now store the Baron over the winter.

I can think of something that does, but being single at the moment means that a good hard ride on the FireStorm is about as close as it gets :lol:

No not a holiday.....nuff said. It was one of the best areas of the middle east though to be fair.
