Title: Nearly Spring
Post by: grog on Monday, 26 February 2018, 07:35 PM
getting close for you northeners. time to get those all fixed up 14s back riding again. looking fwd to some ride pics. my ride today was 2 hrs after a storm, roads had dried quite well. not at all cold, the opposite actually. soon the winter jacket/gloves come out. another 4 to 6 weeks. tonight, a bit of a rev, love those angels on a bit of damp. home for a beer or two, cant help but admire that bike when i get off. no wonder we like them. faultless? pretty close.

I did a few 100 miles at the weekend very cold but great to be on the bike.
Heated grips rule . :stir:

I was thinking about heated grips, but then I heard about heated gloves. Anyone tried them?

I have heated grips and also the hand guards..
Came in VERY useful last weekend. The temp was between 2C and 4C where I was..
Thought I would push the cracked swing arm to see if I could provoke a nice power drift ! :imrgreen:
