Plenty old enough - parents these days are so overprotective.

Know how you feel, I've taken out of storage last week but the damn snow won't melt and at -2C it's too cold for my gear...

Super sunny here, one bike in 100 pieces in the garage, no time or money to rebuild it. Oh and the neighbour is out polishing his R6 and randomly starting and reving it just to rub it in that he's got one and I don't.

Shock horror I did sneak out on th SV for the first time since October

Although I failed miserably at getting rid of the rust on the disks!!

Didn't go too far, I'm stiff and rusty myself, twas rather nice and smooth riding, with no wobbles.
shame about the giant potholes on every decent line round a corner
