    With the amount of rain we have had I nearly traded the car for a 40hp dingy, no heater or seat belt so the "boss" said fook off.

    Cold and rain not a problem, for short distances, but gets to you after a while (as I am sure you all know !)

    Here it is high winds and high tides that keeps the bike indoors. We have 10 meter tides in the Channel Islands. Coupled with strong winds they dump salt water, sea weed, sand, gravel and stones onto the coast road. Not interested in riding my lovely bike through sea water.

    If the wind drops and the tide has been below about 8.5 meters, then game on.

    I took the GIXER out earlier....to have a listen to the new Akrapovic that I've just fitted....opened the throttle a couple of times, very very twitchy.....won't be taking her out again for a couple of months, really not worth the risk.

    Might take my little CBR600fx out though.... :) love that bike!
