first ride of 2016

Well, it isn't raining today so I thought I would take the bike out as I was a little worried about not starting it up since November.  After pulling away the tarpaulin,turning on the petrol, it started third kick, very pleased.

I feel so inspired I might even treat the bike to a new set of rubber gaiters for the front forks.

not too worried about salt, still has last years' on it.  I just neutralise it with a bit of oil every now and then although I have to say the front mudguard is finally starting to fail after 40 years of faithful service.  It's amazing how hammerite holds things together.

Trigger:
Went for a 50 mile yesterday, felt like my face was going to fall off with the cold.

florence:
it must be very cold where you are, it's quite mild here.
