    Put the thermal lining back in my gear before going out today. Winter gloves too. Always feels bulky after the summer, but I was warm as toast. :upyeah:

    (Lots of leaves around too, but at least it's dry out there at the mo.)

    It's cold and it's tipping it down with rain, I think that pretty much sums it up :wink:

    I'm in the process of getting our spare bedroom ready for when the tax runs out on the Bonnie !
    Shifting the bed out, 8x4 sheet of ply on the floor, and tools in :biggrin:
    Hoping to be able to spend a few quid on 'improvements' in the comfort and warmth over the winter period.

    Hah, nice one. Trust the spare bedroom is downstairs!!

    (I'll be in the garage, but it's an integral part of the house, so never gets too cold in there.)

    Sounds like you will be busy in the winter months
    I still ride when the weather permits yes your bike gets a bit dirty but it's still heaps of fun
    You guys don't know what your missing

    Ha ha, i do !
    I only passed my car test in 2000, before that i rode everyday no matter what the weather did. I used to have an old GSX400 painted matte black which simply refused to die, this was my winter bike, leaving my other bikes all nice and clean in the garage.
    These days, when its wet and cold the climate control in the car kicks in leaving the bike in the warm and dry :biggrin:
    My old bones dont do the cold anymore...:frown:

    Still pretty warm here in Leicestershire at the moment. We did a 300 miles round trip through mid and north Wales yesterday. Only real problem were the gusty winds.
