Just been out for a quick trip - its wonderful to ride on nice dry roads again! I can now try to remember how to go round corners properly and even get some decent lean angles, after a winter of riding in caution-mode!

No change here, I've been "leisure riding" the W800 and the Ludix right through, hosing off after each ride and using the Fred Dibnah method of an oily rag to keep the salt-induced corroison at bay. :D

Nice to ride and still be able to feel my fingers, though. :D

Luckily I've been able to commute on my scoot most weekdays since last February :). Getting Oxford Hot Grips fitted and a pair of hans gericke pantheon gloves meant I could pretty much always feel my fingers :D

I've done 9,500 miles since getting the scoot in June 2010 so I guess the surprised looks from the dealers when I ask for a trade in price are only to be expected :(

Lovely to be riding in the 'warm' again though.
I haven't lost my mind, it's backed up on tape somewhere.
