It was "interesting".

Temperatures are going to be a lot better for the rest of the week now, the next bit of fun could be fog on weds...

Left it at home. The roads were white with frost this morning.

Ditto. The section I uploaded yesterday was worse today at -4. The backend of the smart was stepping out so glad the bike was at home.

Took the GB for a quick half hour hoon once Jess had turned up and could watch the annoying midgets.

Seems to build revs a fair bit quicker with the new headers, might have to do something about the brakes now (lol)

A night ride with a 1980’s headlight on unmarked roads with no reflectors felt like a time warp back to my teens.

I really do enjoy this bike, definitely has a place in the garage for a while.

Mate, it was the whole reason I jumped on the bike. It was either that or ring one of their necks. 4 weeks straight of school holidays (bar one weekend) and taking on Jess’ 2 as well this week I’m well ready to go to work.

3 of them are going through puberty and Jess’ daughter has just started ’womanhood’ so you can imagine the attitudes I’ve had to weather.

I hear you mate. I've been in those positions. Little shits sometimes. I miss my girls but don't at times too. :D

Humm..... Maybe the cage would have been a better choice this morning, it was a tad slippery.. Impressed with the camera quality though, youtube as compressed the vid a bit so has pixelated more than the original.
Christ Nutz looks like the road was ice on vid. Don't know if its brave or foolish to be honest. Be careful out there at the moment

Glad to be back on the bike today, even if the fog was so thick in places you couldn't see further than the car in front.

Does amaze me how many people don't put their lights on when it's foggy.

It was neither, the road conditions at home where nothing like where the video is from. It was about 10 miles from home and the temperature had dropped by 3 or so degrees. When you ride all year round, sometimes you just have to deal with the conditions and get on with it.

Also, I don't appreciate being called foolish. Insult me again and you can join blade on the ignore list.

Yes been there before with riding all year. I understand how it can change from place to place. It is just one of those things which I do understand. However haven't done it for a while now (maybe 8 years). Tough to read sometimes especially if you live in a more built up area

You don't take banter well do ya. Seriously, 'an insult', jeez, who's stepped on your toes to snap like that for no reason, it was a bit of banter, like how many many people would say, pretty much all over the globe. Also what has Blade ever done to you to make you feel like you have to 'ignore' him. He adds good posts to TS and is genuinely a nice fella. I saw you had a pop at him a while ago in the BMW thread for Perkles bike - or something like this. I'm not here to ignore anyone. People have a tendency to have their own view points, experiences and ideas in this world!

You should of just stuck with

'Also, I don't appreciate being called foolish' and leave it at that buddy
