please ride safe guys and gals

I've already ticked the box of sliding on ice this year. Don't intend to do it again. Can't really promise the safe bit. Can you define it a bit more?

i'm just about to leave home (hastings) to head to macclesfield and then down to cardiff. so if you see a black 1050 tiger with metal mule panniers - feel free to stop and buy me coffee!!!!!

Not me...
dont think I'll be out until spring now... (Dunno why I bothered re-taxing it!)
Fair weather rider and proud of it, Ive done my Hard man biker bit years ago... never had a choice then... no car.

I have a car, just hate using it with a passion, plus the Mrs needs it to ferry the kids backwards & forwards. Wouldn't say I need to use the bike, but wouldn't say that it's anything to do with being a "hard man biker" either.

As for the safety, I have a sticker on the fairing quoting my daughters words to me... "Daddy, I'm worried you'll hurt yourself on your bike again."

But seriously, for those that aren't used to riding on slippy stuff, be careful!

I thoroughly enjoy driving my car. It helps to have a decent car though. If I had to drive the gf's Ka on a regular basis I'd run a hot bath and slash my wrists.
