Re: Lovely weather this time of year!
I stopped wearing my heated vest a few weeks ago but thankfully I stored it in my top box just in case. I had, however, switched over to my summer gloves so the backs of my hands and finger tips were a bit frozen by the time I got home.
Still, it's always good to be on the bike regardless of the weather provding you have the right kit on.

Re: Lovely weather this time of year!
I really need to buy myself some sensible gear. I only own summer stuff which isn't exactly ideal for this time of year. Almost lost my fingers on the way back from Edinburgh the other weekend.Big Kneed Al (master of the emergency stop & "stand up" comedian) wrote: ↑Thu Apr 27, 2017 2:01 pmI stopped wearing my heated vest a few weeks ago but thankfully I stored it in my top box just in case.

The weather looks like it is slowly improving. Pity I'm stuck in an office!

Re: Lovely weather this time of year!
Yup, I've been told to be on my best behavior for the first 600 miles then head back down for an oil change as the new engine comes with a different spec oil for the initial run in period. Apparently I then have to take it easy for a further 900 miles but I'll take that with a pinch of salt.Big Kneed Al (master of the emergency stop & "stand up" comedian) wrote: ↑Mon May 01, 2017 7:55 pmAre you having to run the new engine in?
