Lovely sunny winters day & dry roads round my way, but by jingo after a few miles it was a tad chilly!

Think perhaps the summer gloves will hibernate till well into next year I just hate those bulky winter jobbies tho- might as well wear my flippin' boxing gloves for all the feel & tactility they offer!

Anyway lovely blast, just thawing out now

Nipped out this morning "just half an hour to charge the battery darling". Ended up doing a couple of hundred miles. Just come home to a warmed up dinner, eaten in silence!

The cold wasn't too much of a problem, but there were some seriously greasy roads, leading to some very gently cornering. And the bike will need a major clean in the morning...

Having only passed recently, this is the only weather I have been able to go out in. But it has been just amazing!
I just can't seem to be able to stop myself from going out on needless trips for hours at a time when whenever I get the chance. Even had my first tail slide the other day and it was thrilling!
I love my Ninja

Get some muffs mate, then you can wear your summer gloves inside them and stay toasty.

It's the ends of the fingers that get me.

Generally can stay warm enough but, once motoring, it just chills the ends of me digits (ooh err misses)

Iggy - you wanna get one of those heated vests, heated gloves, thermal undies, balaclava, and those very long socks that come up over your knees.....

Mmmmmmmmm I can see it now..... like a sort of 'Steptoe' on a bike.

So is this a new silence or is she still mad at you for the Hayling Island thing?
