My bike (and leather) has just gone away for the winter. A bit early in the year but I am having an operation in a few weeks time so would not have been able to ride it anyway.
I have a vfr800, which I have owned for 12 years now.
Good enough excuse i guess wink

Even the single track narrow crap roads are bloody brilliant.

It's genuinely difficult to find a bad road once you get to the Breacon area and head in any direction. Still want to tick off the Black Mountain road mind... could be a starter?
Judging by the last couple of days, winter is deffintelty here frown bloody freezing! Up for a wales hack when it's nice again though biggrin

Looks like we need to set up a Chepstow meet, to Usk, Abbergvenny for a brekky then maybe up to Elan vally which is lovely for a run when it's warmer
That sounds like a brilliant idea! biggrin

You bloody bunch of tarts wear a fking vest or something!

Failing that ride faster so you get to the destination sooner with less heat loss so you can warm up with a bacon roll and a cuppa wink

You FWB miss out on all the fun... I managed to powerslide my VFR in the greasy conditions today! Not intentionally and after the fear went away I rode off feeling like a new contender for Marquez hehe
Looks like we've got ourselves a badass wink haha I'm not hardcore enough to brave this st weather mate frown
I too had a ass clenching moment the other weekend.... So greasy out there!

My GT86 brand new cost me £400 fully comp with Protected NCB. My fireblade cost me the same amount to insure as my Kit car. under £200.

But i'll keep my heated seats and keep my heater on until we get warmer temps and it's going to be more fun for me to ride
I'll second that wink well my insurance is cheap on the gsxr.... £260 and I'm 24 biggrin my cars not far off that either!
