My mates in Poland and in Finland are all reporting snow falling and it's more than just a dusting. I wouldn't be surprised if we see Scotland get some in the next couple of weeks.

Unless of course you are 10 miles into a 40C 100% humidity jungle and don't have said flip flop or any stockings.
Is that classed as having 'character'? Image
Nope that's classed as a wiring loom fire! The bike was 3 weeks old!

Fitted the top box and managed to pack into it,

A new car battery (sealed)
Tools to fit it
Textile jacket
Helmet.

Very impressed!!

Going to help Jess' friend get her car back on the road ready for blue slip (over the pit MOT) as it's been out of rego for two years while she's been away OS. Then giving her a lift to work on the bike

Your google skills are weak, young jedi and certainly no match for a master like me.

You disappoint me.

Left the bike at home. This evening's weather looks pretty poor and with me leaving work late the traffic shouldn't be too bad. At least I'll be warm on the way home.

I haven't done anything to the bike but I did look at it again this morning and also look on Nitron's website to happily discover they now do fork internals too.....

WHY DO I EVEN LOOK!?!?!?!

It was a proper wintery ride in this morning. Cold, wet greasy roads, showers, wind, chilly. Not nice at all.

I only had a few miles to ride to college Kwacky, I don't envy your stint down the m6(?), it was greasy enough on my short commute. Drivers are so blinkered in inclement weather too. Bunch of mongs.

It's either the M6 and A46 or the M42/M40/A46 for me. It depends on the traffic.

Either route isn't much fun. So many people drive without looking around them.
