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

Were a bit scary mary, 'stick to the roads' and all that, there's some odd people floating around on the hardshoulder up there at night......one of them being Im indoors when I flew into ferrybridge when I ran out of fuel...he really does need to look in his mirrors more then he'd tell if i were there or not!!!!
He was sat waiting when I flew past in a rage, after he'd realised.....still didn't take long for him to catch up
