Took mine in too (like every day until I see snow) and it took an extra half an hour as I couldn't see past the car in front which meant no filtering

Certainly made for an "interesting" ride though

What a waste... your blade is an awesome commuter - highly capable in all weathers . It was a bit foggy this morning in places but 'went out for some milk' yesterday morning and it was lovely.

Yesterday was SWEEET. Was in Brummy over the weekend and wafted down the M1, then blatted around Boxhill yesterday.
An utter hoon.

Today was another days commute. Stupid drivers, smelly diesels and low visibilty.
All in a days biking...

i know it is..BUT..if you'd seen where i live you'd understand why, i live in the middle of nowhere, narrow, VERY bumpy the roads are literally covered in mud the DRZ is alot more fun on those roads,i had it proper sideways a few times a real hoot

My front wheel bearing went on Friday...so it's no biking for me until new parts arrive
I had to use the Car and was 45 minutes late for work this morning

I can't understand how people can commute in a Car every day...it's just impossible. They must be mad.

Wanted to take the ducati out but I've not bothered taxing it yet... I was almost tempted to be one of the 40%'ers . I've only ridden it once and that was home from when I bought it . Who'd have thought the end of january would be like that?

Good Man, had a good ride in this morning too... Just about getting the technique for 3rd gear wheelies now

Whoever doesn't enjoy riding this time of year has the wrong bike and the wrong clothing.. imho

Yesterday was superb, it's the first time I’ve had a chance to take the new bike out since getting her in December. (Despite being awake most of the night with the baby)

Although I was still running her in, so had to keep the revs down, it was great to be part of the experience down at Boxhill.

Roll on the good weather
