    Forecast looks promising this weekend, hoping to get the Repsol out for the first time since New year's day, had enough rain to wash the shite of the roads, please council don't drop anymore before the weekend.

    Overnight temps are fairly high, shouldn't be any need for the gritters....fingers crossed.

    Well I’ve been a bit optimistic and booked a track day at Snetterton (incl 4 hours of riding there and back) so I’m gambling it’ll be ok! :D

    I'm also getting psyched up for Fri and the weekend. W Mids is supposed to be good also.

    I'm hoping to get my SP out of mothballs. Hasn't seen the road since October:(. Still consigned to the ABBA!:)

    Hope it holds out for you @bradt

    I'm off too Oulton Park to watch a No Limits track day and give the bike a run. Might get the exhaust tested while I'm there as I've heard the standard can has failed noise limits at certain tracks o_O;)

    Shame you've burnt half your week when you expected to be out more:(.

    For W Mids, tomorrow looks better than Fri and Sat. We have 9 - 14. Think I'll move my schedule forward and start juggling around the lounge room!!:D

    do not dismiss the gritters, they are anxious to use up all the salt & gravel (sorry gritt) they throow on the road before the end of this finalcial year.
    I've been enjoying the roads during the winter months but as always very challeging to avoid the gritted ones.
    enjoy the ride:)

    Good so far. Got up early to watch the fiirst WSB. No spoilers, but a good race.

    Went for my 30 min run and found the roads glossed with overnight mist. Should dry out after I do a pre-season clean on my SP - just in case I missed anything on the pre-storage clean!:D
