A bit damp and misty but good to be out, mild for time of year, did need a wash afterwards.

Did you helicopter it into place or clean it in situ?! :lol:

That looks amazingly clean for a December pic.

I last rode mine to goand see B&HA play Brentford. Dry and home but the a27 foggy and mizzle. As was the Amex.
Ride home was on a very damp bike, with low visability and visor that wouldn't clear the fine rain.
And it was buggery, bollocks cold!

Tomorrow's forecast is for windy & rain most of the day so I've just took the Street Triple out for my last ride of 2024.I got of to a false start as I wore my summer gloves :shock: I realised my mistake before I got of the drive..

The bike's taxed until the end of January so I might get a few more rides on it next month :thumbup:

The band of bright sky in the middle of the pictures has fooled the exposure meter into under-exposing the main part of the images.
There is no cloud, just somebody else's computer.

No pics, but took the bike into town today, 12 very cold miles each way, but when you need chain lube, you have to get it!

I came to the conclusion that the reason I hadn’t ridden the bike for a while wasn’t because of the foul weather but because I’d cleaned the bike and was being precious. So it’s manky again. Enjoyed the ride tho.
