Frosted!
« on: November 14, 2007, 01:18:44 PM »
Had to be in work this morning for half seven, and for the first time this autumn/winter I had to clear the seat and fairing screen of ice.... Burrrr after the sun of the Canarys its was a wee bit of a shock to the system... And Although the road was gritted last night one or two of the corners were a little exciting with cold tyres and a still half asleep head!

Bob... to think you're missing on the delights of motorcyling... just think what you're missing...
Shivering your arse off in your shed trying to alingn a clutch with numb hands, or that joyfull feeling of  having a chilly drip of ice cold water dripping down or back as you try to fit something on th bike...

Doses make the beer more rewarding...
