[nickodemon]

That looks like the cars my apprentices in work use... blacked out rear windows   He he.. I cant really laugh as i use a focus 1.8 tdci when the weather is cr*p

I just picked up my new car tonight. Starting to get too wet and cold on the bike for me to enjoy it, so liked the look of this:

mines a bit older than yours mick.....and a lot lot lot slower  :o :o :o

Looks good Red.

Not a GTi, it's a GTD. I do too many miles for a petrol to make sense :thumbup

Save your forks with a sheet of clear sticky back plastic such as fablon. Works brilliantly.

mine were already on thier way when I bought the bike, but once painted will do what you suggest.

Bikes been away for a month so we'll be using our new car (7 months old)

[nickodemon]

This is turning into a car thread! :lol

Feet or pushbike, only work 3 minutes walk or 1 minute pedal away so can't be arsed riding anywhere in cold wet weather, the joys of getting old....

im useing a bonnie and my older mt01..once the salt is here itll just be the trumpet.

[noggythenog]

Well i dont uualy do winter riding but i may as well coz everytime im out on my bike it ends up raining whether its summer, spring, autumn or winter.......i "enjoyed" 120 miles in the rain on Sunday and i fully intend on enjoying a few more rainy rides until i sorn it at the end of November.


The big thou isnt actually all that bad in the rain coz it can still pull in 6th gear at slow speeds and stay relatively dossile as long as the revs are kept down.

Still using the R1, but soon will be on the DT50MX  :eek :eek

[unfazed]

I will be using the Fazer 1000 or 600 for most weather,  the Serow for the snowy days and the Mazda 6 on the Icy days  :lol

[pilgrim]

I used to have an RF900. One of the main reasons I got rid of it was that it was total crap in winter. Carbs used to ice up at anything under 5c even with carb heaters :eek and it could be seen visibly rotting away at the first whiff of salt. Bought a Gen 1 instead and been using it all year round for the last 9 years
