Where I live (West Coast) the snow is gone - well, for now.

Yesterday we had a very nice sunny weather but as it is still January I'm quite sure that we get more snow and cold. As a matter of fact yesterday it felt like late March.

At least two more months to go... :cheers:

Still riding, heated jacket and gloves are brilliant. I love riding in the winter, but the low sun is a pain, but can't have everything

@Casbar I did it last year for the first time in about 15 years

We had some cracking rides out and the heated seat and grips with textiles on made it pretty comfortable

I gave it a miss this year though :?

Hate to think what would happen if that visor slammed down.

Despite the cold it was DRY today so with that in mind I went for an hour up the A6. Because of the weather this has been my first ride on this actual bike, my reasoning being that it'll never be this clean again in my ownership and I have to say I am more than impressed. I won't bore you all with that you already know but I made the right choice trading in the K1600 for it. :-D
