Good weather or bad the bike will be rolling out of the garage for the first time in 4 months. After the pre flight checks I will be heading to the Isle of Wight for 4-5 days, to say I am like a kid in a sweet shop is an understatement. I don't mind if it's mostly dual carriageway or motorways to get to the ferry but I will be smiling again for the first time in months.

4 months thats a long time not riding, not surprised your like a kid in a sweet shop. Hope the weather is kind to you. Just watch out for speed cameras on IOW. Last time I was there saw quite a few.

The roads on the Island are not safe for speeding, no idea why they even need cameras.

Well it really `warmed up'  to 7c  down here in sunny Kent today,  so  the Bike came out for a couple of hours to blow away  the cobwebs,  great to hear that engine's distinct  `roar'  again after a couple of weeks stuck in the frozen up garage,  weather should start getting better for all  soon ( I hope )..... :be happy:

Beemerbaz enjoy your Isle of Wight  -roads there not that bad this time of year.    8)

Just touching 4 degrees here so finish my packing, roll out the bike, check to see if bulb has repaired itself (or ballast)! then enjoy 3 hrs of motorway riding to Southampton to catch my ferry, should be settled in at mums for afternoon tea [emoji106]

Go On...someone from Australia chime in with the fact that it is 30 here at the moment...oh damn...that would be me... :))
Sorry guys.... :alas:
