Yep, I braved it too.

Despite being woken by the sound of half a dozen windscreens being scraped off.

I was praying to catch the red lights so I could warm my hands on the engine. No such luck. I thought my fingers were going to drop off this morning

*Note to self: buy some decent gloves*

Well I went out for a ride this morning and it was fine. Dry roads, not much traffic and not too cold. Don't know what you wusses are complaining about.

(Er well okay it was 11.30am

)

Hmmm, choice of being rammed into a tube with someones armpit in my face or twenty minutes of numb fingers on the bike, yep, i rode. Need to get some of the muffs though regardless of how stupid they look. Bring on global warming...

hate the tube too... if I wanted to impersonate a sardine I would go in like that everyday... gimme a bike and cold anytime... but really appreciate the grips now...

Yep, can't praise the heated grips enough

Finger tips can get a bit cold around town, because of covering the clutch/brake levers, but you always get plenty of chance to warm them up at the traffic lights.
Almost felt sorry for the other bikers waving their hands around and trying to hold their cylinders

Mind you, my 'old boy' got a bit cold this morning - I'll have to put a sock on him tomorrow
