Quite mild here as well. I don't really care how cold it is it just needs to be dry, been out 5 times so far this year. But my 550 is a pig to start in the cold weather, thank god for gel batteries!

florence:
I have to agree getting wet is pretty boring these days, although I do still go out as long as it isn't raining massively.

mike the bike:
Great riding weather last Saturday,  bike came out of hibernation and started first prod of the starter (with fresh petrol).   Enjoyed myself down the Red Lion talking about bikes etc. having a pint.  Saturday afternoons don't get much better.

When really cold. ...Ignition off, full choke, full throttle, 3 to 5 kicks, ignition on, close throttle, prod starter.

I've been out most Saturday's and had to put the Helly Hansen long johns on, and finally got around to buy a proper three layer jacket and boots.
I always remember my brother riding back on his Benelli 504 from Swansea Uni to Cornwall one Xmas with no proper gear, it took him two days to thaw out  ;D
