    Officially spring time now, but where the hell is it? Feels like Siberia out, snow forcast, gritters out and if it isn't snowing or freezing it's pissing it down with rain. Starting to to get stir crazy with the bike still under cover in the garage.
    Worst still I work as a landscape gardener :frown:

    I hear what your saying, not the best climate for me owning a bike shop let alone the bloody economic climate arrghhh! I sold my MV in Oct 2011 and sad to say I'm pleased I did! I doubt I would have had a chance to do even a couple 1000 miles on her! However I'm very unfortunate because I have to go on holiday to Egypt next month :) it is my 1st holday in 3 years mind you.

    My Mrs is off 'oop North' for a few days on Thursday so I've got a couple of days of freedom, under normal circumstances I'd be heading for the hills on the America. Looks like with these temperatures I won't be getting too far. I ride for pleasure, & there aint no pleasure in freezing yer nuts off!

    Looks like the icey weather might be on its way out and the forcast for this next weekend looks dry. :smile: Make the most of it it will probably rain for the next month.

    Decision made heading to Matlock Bath for lunchtime today (Sat) if any of you spot a Purple Street and a red Speed triple parked up there come and say hello.

    Blimey. I've not seen snow for a few weeks. You guys had it bad.... Brilliant sun and dry roads for me.. went out and scrubbed tyres in. Initial impression are good.
    Bike is great and i cant wait to open her up.. Running in sucks... But i moved shift light to 7.5K as it was always on on factory setting of 3.5K....

    The roads were dry here for the most part except where snow was melting and running across the road. Know what you mean about the shift lights, had them flashing a lot when I was running in.

    Now with 1500 miles on and love the engine, never had a 3 cylinder engined bike before; low down torque a bit like my old Ducati but smoother, linier power, and plenty going on when you rev it.

    Toyed with the idea of Peak District this weekend and Matlock but figured it would of still been worse up there so did the A6006 to Rutland water, sat and sun... Sat was by far the better day..... Roll on summer:upyeah:
