down the North Sea, and will occasionally penetrate across the eastern and northern
Highlands of Scotland, bringing a temporary drop in freezing levels, and a few snow
showers. Overall though, lying snow on all mountain areas will continue to melt.

The Mountain Weather Information Service for Cumbria is a trial service; thus amendments in the event of
a change in forecast cannot be guaranteed. Forecasts are constructed using the latest available information
from several meteorological centres. However, they are forecasts and expected conditions can change after
issue.

Naa its not like that mate, I've got no regrets with my VFR, it's a bloody brilliant bike, fantastic all rounder.

How can Honda, a huge company with stacks of cash, some of the greatest minds, and years or engineering experience mess up with such a small component.... Boooooo
