Eventually !
After three weeks of crap weather I managed to get 5 hours in this Afternoon ! Mind you it was bloody cold 35-40f and a very low sun but it was great to get out. The old crotch area was really cold even with leathers on and it took a while to find the old man when nature called but it was worth it. Forgot to take the camera and there was some real good orange/red skies in the background! really kicking myself on that one. Will probally lay her up in 3-4 weeks as the Met Office are forecasting bad snow this year so roll on spring !

RE: Eventually !
In the same boat here as you are. Every riding day is precious this time of year. Got out yesterday myself for about a 200 mile tour. Sure cleared my head and felt good considering it had been just about 2 weeks before that. I'll second the rolling on of spring!!!

Tried to ride today, but left the house with the 1/2 lid, and left my cold weather gloves at work, so about 7 miles, i.e. through town and back, and called it a day. Got 216 miles in on Friday as it was 60 degrees, but today, at 35-37 degrees f, sorry guys, but need my full face and thick gloves for that notion......[&o]

There's the bike fully loaded in the desert near Yuma (220 miles on the tripmeter/ 5000 miles odometer) with my better half, Kat, from my trip this weakend. Even fully loaded (the backpack holds more than a TourPac) it handled like a dream.
