    Good weekend:). Racked up 130 miles on my SP today:(;). Traffic everywhere; must be first day out for high teas and the like, and the bloody first day out for a few insects. Been a great winter without them!

    Aprilia day tomorrow!:D

    I managed 40 slow miles. New tyres and some wet roads with lots of cars. Out again tomorrow though.

    Had my leathers on and took the Repsol out yesterday. A bit chilly here still (5-6 deg) but was great to get on the Repsol and blow the dust off it.

    Maybe this global warming thing has it's advantages! (tin foil hat firmly in place)

    I had to use my leathers as the clasp on my textiles seem reluctant to meet up.thet must have fallen out with each other.

    Well as per post I finally got out early this morning, clear skies when leaving the house so good ride anticipated but within a few miles very patchy fog so not as good as expected, heated grips on 100% for the duration of the ride out, fog made my paddock jacket (worn over leathers)soaking wet, so bit of a disappointment really.

    I waited until about 1.30 because of fog. Didn't want to get moisture smears on my screen!:rolleyes:;)

    Afternoon was good though.

    Can’t wait for some warmer weather

    Cheers :) I'm not sure exactly how they've zipped up fine given my winter spam fritter consumption lol but hey it's great to have them on...one pieces are sooo comfy on a sports :)
    And I'm sure I'm 0.45mph faster in them :D

    That's some pedalling given that I am very familiar with '30 miles'.:D:D
