Starting up after frackin winter
« on: February 08, 2015, 08:26:54 PM »
For weeks now walk in the garage open the door instant all wet, look at my bikes all under mega covers and caaaaaaaant wait to fire them up go for a ride and have the grin again.Am I alone with this?Is this seems longer because I am an old git?When your young nothing seems to drag as long.Oh well roll on March.
Cheers

I look at mine more than I get to ride them  :( I'm in the garage almost every day not always bike related unfortunately.
I had to put them all out side for a couple days last week to spray a bespoke kitchen and it bloody snowed on them. ::) to make things worse they changed there minds and I had to strip the lot.

If I didn't take one of the bikes out I think I would go mad

it has varied between =2c and + 7c in the last 10 days,but very dry,

 so I have managed to get the Honda out several times,
 it does feel good,-)))))

 just need the temp rise to double digits,and stay dry,it will be MUCH better !!!!
