    What species of insanity is this?! Riding only in the Summer?! There are some lovely roads around mid-Bedfordshire and plenty of tasty green lanes. How can you resist? Whack on some heated hand-grips. You'd be amazed what a difference it makes to have some warmth in your hands.

    The winter, rain, fog etc is why they invented cars. My name is John and I'm a fair weather biker.

    To be honest I'm not really but I refuse to take mine TA out when there is even a dusting of salt on the road. It's hard enough to stop it going rusty as it is!!

    No Mate,Keep your 6lda,there is nothing like a bit of origionality Welcome to the XRV forum too.I'm almost positive two of our long standing members also reside in your village ! ( if I'm right maybe you could keep an eye on them for us,we're sure there up to no good most of the time but we can't prove it ) Don't worry about the fair weather jibes either,riding is riding is riding
    Here we Go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Not me, I ride 365 days, and hardly ever clean my bike - no point and lifes too short!

    I like fair weather riders though, it means theres lots of low mileage bikes around!

    Cheers
