152 miles this afternoon, I miss the empty roads, but fun none the less.

A different itch scratched, new HG jacket and gloves bought

Now to test them for being waterproof, tomorrow is the day.

Went out for a good drive earlier today! Cooorrr how I missed it!
And very chuffed the bike started straight away and ran perfectly after being sat for 3 weeks! Spent the rest of the day giving it a well deserved clean, tidy, and polish up
Mmmm sexy clean SV

Not been on the bike since I did a track day on 3rd November.

I use my winter bike this time of year, it's got a roof, a heater and 4 wheels

Seriously though I am really getting an itch but will need a new battery and a service before I can take it out again.

Took care of the itch today, had to choose whether I wanted to be able to see or get grit in my eyes constantly due to the fog condensing on the visor almost instantly.

Scratched

The new kit is so much better than the old and after 40 miles the bike had only used 3 litres, its slippery and I was taking it easy, tested the Kettenmax chain cleaner after giving the bike a wash down, All lubed up and shiney ready for the next ride... I hope its not too long
