I am lucky in that I do not need it for commute so no ride there and although I ride all year round
I only ride when its dry and looks like it will stay that way when I am out.
Then what has to happen is that a dry day has to coincide with one that I am not working
then when I don't have to pick a member for the family up or take to somewhere,
then when the grass don't need cutting
or some part of Sharp hall repairing or decorating
So it doesn't leave much time for riding but some times I just have to drop everything and go (but still has to be dry)
I never go far -100 miles in one go max mostly up to 50 miles but I make sure they are 50 miles of twisties- apart from short sections of straight to get to the twisties and also stay off the boring motorway mostly.
Its kept in an integral garage away from the elements and mostly I am content that it is there for me when I want it.
If you are looking for somewhere to ride then check out our Picture Challenge here http://foc-u.co.uk/index.php/topic,21793.0.html - in fact that was the last time I was out.
Hey Sharpie,
I just followed that link you posted in your last over, wtf happened there it just died out, I think the brewery was the mistake, I bet there a millions of foccers world wide pissed as farts not being able to find their keys or worse still their bike or just laying under a hedge somewhere fast asleep out side the brewery. :rollin
