    Warwickshire sunshine.

    Fantastic weather around here at the moment, dry, sunny but very cold.

    Fancied a ride out yesterday but too much alcohol still in the system.

    So this morning looked good, all kitted up, get the @ out the garage and warm it up. Now normally my bike fires instantly, not this morning backfired a couple of times but no rumble.

    So, off with the seat, get tools out, remove battery cover, find jump leads, get car keys, connect up to car, try again, instant rumble

    Put everything back, car keys back in house and now steaming with all this kit on

    Here we go then, set of down the lane. I live in a very rural part of the county a few short miles from the Cotswolds, and that's the direction i usually head for.

    Nice riding a bit wet on the roads with some really slippy bits in the shadows, needed to be a bit careful there.

    Had a couple of hours ride, temperature never went above freezing but strangely i never felt cold.

    It felt so good being out on the bike even in the freezing temperatures.

    People that don't ride bikes would'nt understand, but i know you will.

    Only took a few pics then the battery gave out in the camera.







    Now all i have to do is get all that salt of before it corrodes away.

    Safe riding folks

    Dave

    No you are on the bit of land controlled by the scots.
    We are in England, there is a reason we had the wall erected.
    YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE
