Mine too RamDez - fuelled and ready - Sun's shining today - if I can get out of this office today I might even use the bike for the afternoon commute.

It's only cold while you are riding:p. Once you get home and that rosy glow starts to spread, along with the pleasure of the ride - what more can I say - bring it on .....:D

Well we know who's buying all the chrome & alloy polish then not to mention a power wash!
Simon - Is warm rosy glow gaelic for frostbite????

If you watch for mild weather following some rain (salt washed away) then you can ride all year round - if you have the right clothes!

Keep on ridin ! Just bought a new device called a gilmour which you attach to a standard hose andthe resovoir fills with a special shampoo and covers your bike in foam-bit like these car washes springing up everywhere but not as strong a solution so doesn't damage the paint or chrome. Washes all the salt and grime away

Jimmy, ride in the cold mate, its refreshing, especially when ice forms on the front forks and the brake calipers. oh...and...nice big icicles on the mirrors as well

does that mean that I'm a real biker ?

That you Jim? working away? The front fairing is getting painted by Gavin Brown -G's Custom Designs- he painted the "bones" bike, have a look at his website, some real good stuff. See you when the weathers warmer.:D

I'm with Biganblue on that one. Just about in full squeak squeak mode as still working in the garden banking up the Harley vouchers for next year. Oh & if I'm going to trade in the Sportie want it to be in the possible nick so unless the weather goes totally brilliant in the next few weeks the bike'll stay in the garage.
Plus it's no fun riding in thon white stuff that lies on the ground proper kit or not!
