Going off subject slightly but here is a picture of a thousand words.

Back on subject - I like riding in winter if it's a clear day, the reason is I usually find it more pleasant at times than during summer. Some of the best rides i've had has been during winter!

Winter riding, i love it :D the only thing I dont like is starting my bike from that cold, poor thing :( but once I'm out, i keep toasty warm in my textiles and in my handlebar muffs, I dont overheat, the bike dosnt overheat. The tyres feel a bit dodgy (heavy handling) but thats ok, I dont go too fast anyway. The one time i got caught out in the snow out on the bike, it was an odd experiance, because riding through snow flakes makes a tunnel type effect. same thing happens when you ride through loads of falling leaves, I love that experiance, feels like a computer game

Has Winter arrived yet ? Here in North Wales we just have a bit less sun this time of the year :D
Even I managed to get out on bike this weekend:D I had a great time:D:D Karl didn't want to come out cos he now has a short action track throttle on his Hypermotard and he claimed he needed a dry road to practise on:rolleyes:
Lissa - good pic:flower:
