I'll be out all the time as its my only mode of transport and has been for the past 4 years. fortunately when it gets really bad I'll go to work on the bullet proof Kawasaki GT550 - the perfect work horse - all the other time it'll be the SV. i'll be going to the NEC what ever weather + it saves £7/£8 parking as for bikes its free :P

It's a tad nippy in the south as well.

I'm not riding, too cold, and my bike's still broken.
