My bike is going under covers every night now . Waited for exhaust to cool down and threw the cover over and connected the Maximiser to keep the battery "Winter Fit" . She lives outside all the time so doing my best to keep her protected against the nasty Welsh weather

Badger does not have that luxury I am afraid . I bring her in as close as I can and do my best to keep the worst off her . She`s my only form of transport and would dearly love a garage for her to stay in

Gritters out here too. Mind, it is frosty out. But my P&J is now stopping in the garage until it rains to wash all the salt away, I don't want a furry bike. In fact I'm looking for a winter hack.

disappointing...supposed to be a nice wintry day, and i got a single sleet shower, dry as a bone all day, apart from a chill in the air.
Must get a couple of new bike covers so The Raptor and Dave is covered. The SRX is now living outside and has pinched Daves snuggly blanket for in the shed. Suzy is wrapped up in hers sulking, and now the Raptors here too it feels left out. Must protect bikes at all costs ...even in the shed

YAY!! I'm off to Snowdon on Thursday, in the car with cameras, so hope it stays for some great photo shots!

Down side, the gritters were out last night, that's the Triumph holed up for winter, it'll be eaten alive on gritted roads.
