Default I feel like a ride this week

The weather is cold but reasonably dry and having got an Xbox 360 with Moto GP for xmas I am desperate to get out and play with the bike.

Anyone else got the bug?

I'm off out tomorrow as it happens but will be on the Dullsville (if it starts) as the SV is well and truly off the road. Not only have I got electrical issues, the fork seal blew last time I was out. I thought it felt vague at the front but put it down to the slippery surface. I will mostly going shopping for fork seal parts. Interesting. Not.

Weds sounds good. Went for a ride today and it was horrid. I forgot that the weather is so cold that I couldn't get any warmth into the tyres and as a result I had no grip. Am now apprehensive about going on a proper ride if the weather doesn't warm a tad.

I need to go to Saeed (Devil Biccy's) house to pick up my tent and sleeping bag so I might just take a gentle ride to his place if he is in?

It's way too cold to be riding for fun at the moment so I'll get back to you in Spring! My fingers are still frozen from this mornings commute.
