    It's a period of the year when I say to myself I'm too old, don't need to do this, which transposes to, have got bike stripped down for "maintenance" ;) Also a time when I look forward and start the planning for this years trips. Welsh tour this year, did France, Belgium Scotland and 50th Ace bash last year :D

    Winter - if it's not raining and the roads are dry the bike comes out, especially if the sun is shining ( it helps you to feel warm)

    Winter is a period when temps are down to -15°C, so the bike stays indoors.

    We did 130 miler today, to get my pal's Victory steering head bearings done. For ONCE I got the clothing right, mindst you, I was behind a good screen to keep wind and road dirt off. :D
