No, freezing cold and roads are still salty white round here which doesn't mix well with metal! Hope it rains hard next week, washes all the salt away and then stays sunny till November - what d'ya think............

Walked into B&Q today, what a laugh. I was knocked down by barbecues, gazebos, chairs, decking and sun hats. Yup bring on the sun and sticky tyres. |

My LC is still being fettled, should be back end of this month, my other bikes are still awaiting fairing fitting and new brake pads etc, with the way the weather has been, its been too cold for me to work on them, I also let my insurance lapse, which is a first ever for me I think. Ill square that away next week, thats the plan at the mo anyway, snowed again round my way today..  |

I'm in Sweden and although we've had alot of sunshine lately, it hasn't been very warm. It's about +17°c in the sun, but the wind is still pretty cold. It's kind of strange, it's warm and cold at the same time lol. I'm more focused on getting the CR/RD bike done. Havn't been doing alot to it though but I've stared at it and made some planning. All I need is some more heat so I can start building without losing my building-motivation.  |

Riding mine for the first time tomorrow to take it for its MOT, then back home to sand off some white powder off the front forks. Can't wait for this permaslime to disappear off the roads!

Still snow and ice on the roads here in Norway. Have started it and re-jetted the carbs after last year. Just need the temp to go over minus oC.
