We had about 4" yesterday afternoon/evening in Birmingham. Went out in friends car last night-you should have seen the cagers(Mercs,BMWs mainly) sliding around: you know the story-high revs & 1st gear! Didnt see any gritters or snow ploughs on the 3 main roads we used. Daresay they were all out on the M6/M5.
The Fazer is wrapped up nice and warm in the kitchen(where else?) There is a friends YBR 125 in the shed with a couple of older bikes. I had to wait years to be able to enjoy having the bike indoors-no-one to nag me. I can do my little maintenance jobs/polishing whatever with the radio, kettle, heat & light. I did manage a couple of rides out last month before the weather turned colder and looking forward to the spring. 45 years ago I rode year round in all weathers & 60s bike gear wasnt particularly good at keeping you warm & dry.
