when do weekend riders begin to surface?
 
christmas/ new year is behind us and now that the snow and ice is gone, so when do non commuting cold feeling puffs like me fire the bike up again?
been riding a couple of years (read summers) now but last year the bike was in bits so i couldnt ride it. im itchin like a mad hooker!

walk outside look at the road if you can go down it without falling off enjoy your ride

+1 - If you have confidence inspiring tyres then any weather is good, riding in the damp an wet gives you more confidence in the dry :-)

my 6 foot snow man is now only 8 inches tall. Rain and windy here also.
Bike has no Tax on it so it is staying in the garage for the time being... Roll on January the 31st... pay day so can tax the bike for a February ride. Hopefully the Hardy Bikers one also.

yer the main roads were fine after a few days but its the close's and side roads we just ice, 1/4 mile to the main road may as well be 5000 miles you just can't get a bike out, unless your Neeja and then the worlds end wouldn't stop you going out lol ;-)
