And bravery was required today!
I needed to do some work at one of our sites in London today. With everything I needed onsite I decided last night to leave the van and take the bike!
Expecting that it would be on the chilly side I dressed warm but nothing could really of prepped me for the shock of an ambient -1c at 6am this morning when I left the house.
Heated grips on full and me tucked up behind the double bubble it was a sodding long trip down to London. Although when I got into the big smoke the cold faded as I filtered through all the traffic!
Return trip was a similar affair with great fun filtering through traffic past the great sites on London followed by a long cold motorway jaunt back.
Considering my bike has been sitting in the garage since bsb at silverstone she didn’t miss a single beat. That said this is probably my last run this year as the winter starts to close in.
Here’s to hoping 2013 is an improvement!
I’ve fitted my winter linings back into my Rukka gear, was out on a GSXR1000 earlier and then went up to London myself on the Ducati
I think both of mine will be staying in the garage till next year now. Glad you had fun with the mad London traffic
Brave lad. I have used the FZ and YZF for commuting a few times in and of Brum recently and the time saving on the way home is startling…45 mins on a 25 mile journey…purely because I can filter. Good fun dusting off the old despatching skills now and again!
I will keep the bikes legal, but use will be very occasional for the next few months
Champs/Pete you make me feel like a right lightweight. I think twice about taking the car out in at -1 degrees.
Perversely, I do quite fancy a bit of mad filtering in London though and I can see why the adrenalin got pumping.
