Don't forget your engine will be making more power with this cold dense air!

there's nowt like bad weather and wet roads to practise your throttle control and smooth braking......

Plus the the worse weather you ride in the nicer it is when it's nice IYSWIM ;-p

Just looked at weather forecast - 5 days of rain!

Still at least it'll help wash the salt off the road..

Can't wait to get the guzzi out again.

After having the bike it would take a very special car to replace the bike , no car can give you the buzz you get from bikeing .

Fecking weather

I am getting tempted to buy a cheap Kwack gt550 to thrash about on and save the ZX6 , It's done every winter since new so its time i gave the poor thing a break for all the corrosive road crud

badapple.

Its just sat in the garage looking sorry for itself

I decided to buy a new car and keep this bike. I am not going to repair it till I get my confidence back and do a few track days.
Planning to do the Ron haslem race school this year if time and funds allow.

It was too cold to continue riding. Cold was a factor in me crashing. wasnt concentrating and my hands were hurting.

roll on summer after 100 or so miles Ill be ok again I'm sure

Im spending my winter working the weekends for the overtime to subsidise this summers fun. Also using it to get the bike up to scratch. Just had the exhaust system polished along with the footpegs, heel plates, heat shield etc. £40 the lot from a company in Basildon. They have done a great job of it too.

Just got to get a smaller plate and bigger rear socket and finally get shot of my front end brake judder and then hopefully the sun will be coming out.

Roll on April!

We should all organise a rideout to a known pub where they are showing the MotoGP on a big screen!! See ya there!
